Leviticus 12 : 1 (NCV)
The Lord said to Moses,
Leviticus 12 : 2 (NCV)
"Tell the people of Israel this: 'If a woman gives birth to a son, she will become unclean for seven days, as she is unclean during her monthly period.
Leviticus 12 : 3 (NCV)
On the eighth day the boy must be circumcised.
Leviticus 12 : 4 (NCV)
Then it will be thirty-three days before she becomes clean from her loss of blood. She must not touch anything that is holy or enter the Holy Tent until her time of cleansing is finished.
Leviticus 12 : 5 (NCV)
But if she gives birth to a daughter, the mother will be unclean for two weeks, as she is unclean during her monthly period. It will be sixty-six days before she becomes clean from her loss of blood.
Leviticus 12 : 6 (NCV)
"'After she has a son or daughter and her days of cleansing are over, the new mother must bring certain sacrifices to the Meeting Tent. She must give the priest at the entrance a year-old lamb for a burnt offering and a dove or young pigeon for a sin offering.
Leviticus 12 : 7 (NCV)
He will offer them before the Lord to make her clean so she will belong to the Lord again; then she will be clean from her loss of blood. These are the teachings for a woman who gives birth to a boy or girl.
Leviticus 12 : 8 (NCV)
"'If she cannot afford a lamb, she is to bring two doves or two young pigeons, one for a burnt offering and one for a sin offering. In this way the priest will make her clean so she will belong to the Lord again, and she will be clean.'"
