The Third Book of Moses: Leviticus

Berean Study Bible 2020

- Kapitel 12 -

1
Then the LORD said to Moses,
2
Say to the Israelites, ‘A woman who becomes pregnant and gives birth to a son will be unclean for seven days, as she is during the days of her menstruation.
3
And on the eighth day the flesh of the boy’s foreskin is to be circumcised.
4
The woman shall continue in purification from her bleeding for thirty-three days. She must not touch anything sacred or go into the sanctuary until the days of her purification are complete.
5
If, however, she gives birth to a daughter, the woman will be unclean for two weeks as she is during her menstruation. Then she must continue in purification from her bleeding for sixty-six days.
6
When the days of her purification are complete, whether for a son or for a daughter, she is to bring to the priest at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting a year-old lamb for a burnt offering and a young pigeon or a turtledove for a sin offering.
7
And the priest will present them before the LORD and make atonement for her; and she shall be ceremonially cleansed from her flow of blood. This is the law for a woman giving birth, whether to a male or to a female.
8
But if she cannot afford a lamb, she shall bring two turtledoves or two young pigeons,(a) one for a burnt offering and the other for a sin offering. Then the priest will make atonement for her, and she will be clean.’”
