This OET Readers’ Version was designed to be used with the Literal Version alongside, so you won’t get the best understanding from this single viewpoint. This is still an early look into the drafted text of the Open English Translation of the Bible. Please double-check the text in advance before using in public.

Purification after giving birth

Lev 12:1–8

12 Then Yahweh told Mosheh:

2 Tell 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’. 3 Then on the eighth day, the baby boy’s foreskin must be circumcised.[ref] 4 The 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.

5 However, 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.

6 When 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. 7 Then 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.

8 If 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]
