| Chapter
12 |
| 1 | And
the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, |
|
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. |
| 3 | And in the
eighth day the flesh of his foreskin shall be circumcised. |
| 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. |
| 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. |
| 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:
Luke 2:24
|
| 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. |
| 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. |
