Leviticus 12:1-5

Atonement After Giving Birth

Then Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying, 2 “Speak to the sons of Israel, saying:
‘When a woman ¹gives birth and bears a male child, then she shall be unclean for seven days, ^aas in the days of ²her menstruation she shall be unclean. 3 Now on ^athe eighth day the flesh of his foreskin shall be circumcised. 4 Then she shall remain in the blood of her cleansing for thirty-three days; she shall not touch any holy thing; and she shall not enter the sanctuary until the days of her cleansing are fulfilled. 5 But if she bears a female child, then she shall be unclean for two weeks, as in her ¹menstruation; and she shall remain in the blood of her cleansing for sixty-six days.
