1 Verder het die HERE met Moses gespreek en gesê:

2 Spreek met die kinders van Israel en sê: As 'n vrou swanger word en 'n seun baar, sal sy sewe dae lank onrein wees; soos in die dae van die onreinheid as sy onwel is, sal sy onrein wees.

3 En op die agtste dag moet hy aan die vlees van sy voorhuid besny word.

4 Dan moet sy drie en dertig dae in die reinigingsbloed bly. Aan niks wat heilig is, moet sy raak nie en in die heiligdom mag sy nie kom nie totdat die dae van haar reiniging verby is.

5 Maar as sy 'n dogter baar, sal sy twee weke onrein wees soos by haar maandelikse onreinheid. Dan moet sy ses en sestig dae in die reinigingsbloed bly.

6 En as die dae van haar reiniging in die geval van 'n seun of 'n dogter verby is, moet sy 'n jaaroud lam as brandoffer en 'n jong duif of tortelduif as sondoffer bring na die ingang van die tent van samekoms, na die priester toe;

7 die moet dit offer voor die aangesig van die HERE en vir haar versoening doen; dan sal sy rein wees van haar bloedvloeiing. Dit is die wet van haar wat baar, in die geval van 'n seun of 'n dogter.

8 Maar as sy 'n lam nie kan bekostig nie, moet sy twee tortelduiwe of twee jong duiwe neem, een as brandoffer en een as sondoffer; en die priester moet vir haar versoening doen; dan sal sy rein wees.

1 And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying, 2 Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, If a woman conceive seed, and bear a man-child, then she shall be unclean seven days; as in the days of the impurity of her sickness shall she be unclean. 3 And in the eighth day the flesh of his foreskin shall be circumcised. 4 And she shall 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 impurity; 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 a year old for a burnt-offering, and a young pigeon, or a turtle-dove, for a sin-offering, unto the door of the tent of meeting, unto the priest: 7 and he shall offer it before Jehovah, and make atonement for her; and she shall be cleansed from the fountain of her blood. This is the law for her that beareth, whether a male or a female. 8 And if her means suffice not for a lamb, then she shall take two turtle-doves, or two young pigeons; the one for a burnt-offering, and the other for a sin-offering: and the priest shall make atonement for her, and she shall be clean.
