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 the Lord said to Moses,
2 Say to the children of Israel, If a woman is with child and gives birth to a male child, she will be unclean for seven days, as when she is unwell.
3 And on the eighth day let him be given circumcision.
4 And she will be unclean for thirty-three days till the flow of her blood is stopped; no holy thing may be touched by her, and she may not come into the holy place, till the days for making her clean are ended.
5 But if she gives birth to a female child, then she will be unclean for two weeks, as when she is unwell; and she will not be completely clean for sixty-six days.
6 And when the days are ended for making her clean for a son or a daughter, let her take to the priest at the door of the Tent of meeting, a lamb of the first year for a burned offering and a young pigeon or a dove for a sin-offering:
7 And the priest is to make an offering of it before the Lord and take away her sin, and she will be made clean from the flow of her blood. This is the law for a woman who gives birth to a male or a female.
8 And if she has not money enough for a lamb, then let her take two doves or two young pigeons, one for a burned offering and the other for a sin-offering, and the priest will take away her sin and she will be clean,
