121 Then the Lord spoke to Moses , saying , 2 "Speak to the sons of Israel , saying : 'When a woman gives birth and bears a male child, then she shall be unclean for seven days , as in the days of her menstruation e she shall be unclean . 3 'On the eighth day the flesh of his foreskin shall be circumcised . 4 'Then she shall remain in the blood of her purification for thirty-three e days ; she shall not touch any consecrated thing , nor enter the sanctuary until the days of her purification are completed . 5 'But if she bears a female child, then she shall be unclean for two weeks , as in her menstruation ; and she shall remain in the blood of her purification for sixty-six days .
6 ' When the days of her purification are completed , for a son or for a daughter , she shall bring to the priest at the doorway of the tent of meeting a one year old lamb for a burnt offering and a young pigeon or a turtledove for a sin offering . 7 'Then he shall offer it before the Lord and make atonement for her, and she shall be cleansed from the flow of her blood . This is the law for her who bears a child, whether a male or a female . 8 'But if she cannot afford e a lamb , then she shall take two turtledoves or two young pigeons , the one for a burnt offering and the other for a sin offering ; and the priest shall make atonement for her, and she will be clean .'
