                    Purification After Childbirth  
                     
                    
                    12:1  And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, 
                    12:2  Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, If a woman 
                    have conceived seed, and born a man child: then she shall be 
                    unclean seven days; according to the days of the separation 
                    for her infirmity shall she be unclean. 
                    12:3  And in the eighth day the flesh of his foreskin shall 
                    be circumcised. 
                    12:4  And she shall then continue in the blood of her 
                    purifying three and thirty days; she shall touch no hallowed 
                    thing, nor come into the sanctuary, until the days of her 
                    purifying be fulfilled. 
                    12:5  But if she bear a maid child, then she shall be 
                    unclean two weeks, as in her separation: and she shall 
                    continue in the blood of her purifying threescore and six 
                    days. 
                    12:6  And when the days of her purifying are fulfilled, for 
                    a son, or for a daughter, she shall bring a lamb of the 
                    first year for a burnt offering, and a young pigeon, or a 
                    turtledove, for a sin offering, unto the door of the 
                    tabernacle of the congregation, unto the priest: 
                    12:7  Who shall offer it before the LORD, and make an 
                    atonement for her; and she shall be cleansed from the issue 
                    of her blood. This is the law for her that hath born a male 
                    or a female. 
                    12:8  And if she be not able to bring a lamb, then she shall 
                    bring two turtles, or two young pigeons; the one for the 
                    burnt offering, and the other for a sin offering: and the 
                    priest shall make an atonement for her, and she shall be 
                    clean.
