Leviticus 12 YLT
Summary: This short chapter sets out purification requirements for a woman after childbirth. Following the birth of a son, she is ceremonially unclean for seven days, plus the boy is circumcised on the eighth day, and she remains in a period of blood purification for thirty-three more days, avoiding holy things and the sanctuary. For a daughter, the periods double to two weeks of uncleanness and sixty-six days of purification. At the end of the time she brings a lamb for a burnt offering and a pigeon or dove for a sin offering, with an allowance for two birds instead of a lamb if she cannot afford one — the offering Mary presents after Jesus' birth in Luke 2.
1And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying,
2`Speak unto the sons of Israel, saying, A woman when she giveth seed, and hath born a male, then she hath been unclean seven days, according to the days of separation for her sickness she is unclean;
3and in the eighth day is the flesh of his foreskin circumcised;
4and thirty and three days she doth abide in the blood of her cleansing; against any holy thing she doth not come, and unto the sanctuary she doth not go in, till the fulness of the days of her cleansing.
5`And if a female she bear, then she hath been unclean two weeks, as in her separation; and sixty and six days she doth abide for the blood of her cleansing.
6`And in the fulness of the days of her cleansing for son or for daughter she doth bring in a lamb, a son of a year, for a burnt-offering, and a young pigeon or a turtle-dove for a sin-offering, unto the opening of the tent of meeting, unto the priest;
7and he hath brought it near before Jehovah, and hath made atonement for her, and she hath been cleansed from the fountain of her blood; this is the law of her who is bearing, in regard to a male or to a female.
8`And if her hand find not the sufficiency of a sheep, then she hath taken two turtle-doves, or two young pigeons, one for a burnt-offering, and one for a sin-offering, and the priest hath made atonement for her, and she hath been cleansed.'
