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,

1 耶和华对摩西说：

2 "你要告诉以色列人： 如果有妇人怀孕， 生了男孩， 她就不洁净七天， 好像患病污秽的日子不洁净一样。

3 第八天男婴要受割礼。

4 妇人洁净产血的时期要住在家三十三天； 得洁净的日子未满之前， 她不可触摸任何圣物， 也不可进入圣洁的地方。

5 如果她生了女孩， 就不洁净十四天， 像月经污秽的日子一样； 妇人洁净产血的时期， 要住在家里六十六天。

6 "洁净的日子满了， 不论是为男孩或是为女孩， 她都要用一只一岁的绵羊羔作燔祭， 一只雏鸽， 或一只斑鸠作赎罪祭， 带到会幕门口那里， 交给祭司。

7 祭司把供物献在耶和华面前， 为她赎罪， 她的血就洁净了。以上是生育男女的律例。

8 她的经济能力若是不够献一只羊羔， 她可以拿两只斑鸠， 或是两只雏鸽， 一只作燔祭， 一只作赎罪祭； 祭司要为她赎罪， 她就洁净了。"
