Leviticus 12:1-8

12  And Yahweh spake unto Moses, saying: 2  Speak unto the sons of Israel, saying, A woman when she conceiveth seed and giveth birth to a male child, then shall she be unclean seven days, according to the days of her removal in her sickness shall she be unclean. 3  And on the eighth day shall the flesh of his foreskin be circumcised. 4  And for thirty-three days shall she continue in the blood of purification,—no hallowed thing shall she touch, and into the sanctuary shall she not enter, until her days of purification are fulfilled. 5  But if a female child she bear, then shall she be unclean two weeks as in her removal,—and for sixty-six days shall she continue in the blood of purification. 6  And when the days of her purification are fulfilled, whether for a son or for a daughter, she shall bring in a lamb, the choice of its year, as an ascending-sacrifice, and a young pigeon or a turtle-dove, as a sin-bearer, unto the entrance of the tent of meeting unto the priest; 7  and he shall bring it near before Yahweh, so shall the priest put a propitiatory-covering over her, and she shall be clean from her fountain of blood. This is the law for her that hath given birth, to a male child or to a female. 8  But if her hand findeth not sufficiency for a lamb, then shall she take two turtle doves or two young pigeons, one for an ascending-sacrifice, and one for a sin-bearer,—so shall the priest put a propitiatory-covering over her and she shall be clean.
