GOD spoke to Moses, saying:
Speak to the Israelite people thus: When a woman at childbirthaat childbirth Heb. tazriaΚ», lit. βbrings forth seed.β bears a male, she shall be impure seven days; she shall be impure as at the time of her condition of menstrual separation.β
On the eighth day the flesh of his foreskin shall be circumcised.β
She shall remain in a state of blood purificationbstate of blood purification Meaning of Heb. deme tohorah uncertain. for thirty-three days: she shall not touch any consecrated thing, nor enter the sanctuary until her period of purification is completed.
If she bears a female, she shall be impure two weeks as during her menstruation, and she shall remain in a state of blood purificationcstate of blood purification See note at v. 4. for sixty-six days.
On the completion of her period of purification, for either son or daughter, she shall bring to the priest, at the entrance of the Tent of Meeting, a lamb in its first year for a burnt offering, and a pigeon or a turtledove for a purgation offering.
He shall offer it before GOD and make expiation on her behalf; she shall then be pure from her flow of blood. Such are the rituals concerning a woman who bears a child, male or female.
If, however, her means do not suffice for a sheep, she shall take two turtledoves or two pigeons, one for a burnt offering and the other for a purgation offering. The priest shall make expiation on her behalf, and she shall be pure.
