12:1  2 A law how women should be purged after their deliverance. And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,
12:2  Speak unto the children of Israel, and say, When a woman hath brought forth seed, and borne a man-child, she shall be unclean seven days, like as she is unclean when she is put apart for her disease.
12:3  (And in the eighth day the foreskin of the children’s flesh shall be circumcised.)
12:4  And she shall continue in the blood of her purifying three and thirty days: she shall touch no hallowed thing, nor come into the Sanctuary, until the time of her purifying be out.
12:5  But if she bear a maid-child, then she shall be unclean two weeks, as when she hath her disease: and she shall continue in the blood of her purifying threescore and six days.
12:6  Now when the days of her purifying are out (whether it be for a son or for a daughter) she shall bring to the Priest a lamb of one year old for a burnt offering, and a young pigeon or a turtledove for a sin offering, unto the door of the Tabernacle of the Congregation,
12:7  Who shall offer it before the Lord, and make an atonement for her: so she shall be purged of the issue of her blood: this is the law for her that hath borne a male or female.
12:8  But if she be not able to bring a lamb, she shall bring two turtles, or two young pigeons: the one for a burnt offering, and the other for a sin offering: and the Priest shall make an atonement for her: so she shall be clean.
