1 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, 2 Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, If a woman have conceived seed, and born a man child: then she shall be unclean seven days; according to the days of the separation for her infirmity shall she be unclean. 3 And in the eighth day the flesh of his foreskin shall be circumcised. 4 And she shall then 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 separation: 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 of the first year for a burnt offering, and a young pigeon, or a turtledove, for a sin offering, unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, unto the priest: 7 Who shall offer it before the LORD, and make an atonement for her; and she shall be cleansed from the issue of her blood. This is the law for her that hath born a male or a female. 8 And if she be not able to bring a lamb, then she shall bring two turtles, or two young pigeons; the one for the burnt offering, and the other for a sin offering: and the priest shall make an atonement for her, and she shall be clean.

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.
