Purification after giving birth

Lev 12:1–8

12Then Yahweh told Mosheh:

2Tell the Israelis that when a woman gets pregnant and then gives birth to a boy, she will then be ‘unclean’ for seven days similar to how her impurity during her monthly period makes her ‘unclean’. 3Then on the eighth day, the baby boy’s foreskin must be circumcised.[ref] 4The mother will remain impure from the blood for thirty-three days—she must not touch any sacred thing and may not enter the sanctuary until her purification time is completed.

5However, if she gave birth to a girl, she’ll be ‘unclean’ for two weeks similar to how her impurity during her monthly period, and her purification time will be sixty-six days.

6When the mother’s purification time is completed for either a son or a daughter, she must take a one-year-old lamb as a burnt offering and a young pigeon or dove as a sin offering to the priest at the entrance to the sacred tent. 7Then he must present them to Yahweh to make her right with God, and then she’ll be purified from her flow of blood. That’s the regulation for a woman who gives birth to either a male or a female.

8If she’s unable to afford a lamb, then she must take two young pigeons or doves—one for the burnt offering and one for the sin offering. Then the priest will make her right with God, and then she’ll will have been purified.[ref]
