1 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying, 2 "Speak to the children of Israel, saying, ‘If a woman conceives, and bears a male child, then she shall be unclean seven days; as in the days of her monthly period she shall be unclean. 3 In the eighth day the flesh of his foreskin shall be circumcised. 4 She shall continue in the blood of purification thirty-three days. She shall not touch any holy thing, nor come into the sanctuary, until the days of her purifying are completed. 5 But if she bears a female child, then she shall be unclean two weeks, as in her period; and she shall continue in the blood of purification sixty-six days.

6 "‘When the days of her purification are completed for a son or for a daughter, she shall bring to the priest at the door of the Tent of Meeting, a year old lamb for a burnt offering, and a young pigeon or a turtledove, for a sin offering. 7 He shall offer it before Yahweh, and make atonement for her; then she shall be cleansed from the fountain of her blood.

"‘This is the law for her who bears, whether a male or a female. 8 If she cannot afford a lamb, then she shall take two turtledoves or two young pigeons: the one for a burnt offering, and the other for a sin offering. The priest shall make atonement for her, and she shall 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。"
