Leviticus 12:3-8

Listen to Leviticus 12:3-8
3 and the young child shall be circumcised in the eighth day. (and the young boy shall be circumcised on the eighth day.)
4 Soothly she shall dwell three and thirty days in the blood of her purifying; she shall not touch any holy thing, neither she shall enter into the saintuary, till the days of her cleansing be [ful]filled.
5 Soothly if she childeth a female, she shall be unclean (for) two weeks, (as she is) by the custom of [the] flowing (out) of unclean blood, and threescore and six days she shall dwell in the blood of her cleansing.
6 And when the days of her cleansing, for a son, or for a daughter, be fulfilled, she shall bring a lamb of one year into burnt sacrifice, and a culver bird, either a turtle, for sin, to the door of the tabernacle of witnessing; and she shall give to the priest, (And when the days of her cleansing, for a son, or for a daughter, be fulfilled, she shall bring a lamb of one year for a burnt sacrifice, and a young pigeon, or a turtledove, for a sin offering, to the entrance of the Tabernacle of the Witnessing; and she shall give them to the priest,)
7 which shall offer those before the Lord, and shall pray for her, and so she shall be cleansed from the flowing (out) of her blood. This is the law of a woman that childeth male, or female (This is the law for a woman who beareth a boy, or a girl).
8 That if her hand find not, neither she may offer a lamb, she shall take two turtles, either two culver birds, one into burnt sacrifice, and the tother for sin; and the priest shall pray for her, and so she shall be cleansed. (But if because of poverty, her hand cannot find a lamb that she may offer, she shall take two turtledoves, or two young pigeons, one for a burnt sacrifice, and the other for a sin offering; and the priest shall pray for her, and then she shall be clean.)
