1 The purification of women after childbirth.
6 Her offerings for her purifying.
1 And the Lord spake vnto Moses, saying,
2 Speake vnto the children of Israel, saying, If a [Note: Leviticus 15:19.] woman haue conceiued seed, and borne a man child, then she shal be vncleane seuen dayes: according to the dayes of the separation for her infirmitie shall she be vncleane.
3 And in the [Note: Luke 2:21 John 7:22.] eight day, the flesh of his foreskinne shall be circumcised.
4 And she shal then continue in the blood of her purifying three and thirtie dayes: Shee shall touch no hallowed thing, nor come into the Sanctuary, vntill the dayes of her purifying be fulfilled.
5 But if she beare a maid child, then she shalbe vncleane two weekes, as in her separation: and she shall continue in the blood of her purifying threescore and sixe dayes.
6 And when the dayes of her purifying are fulfilled, for a sonne, or for a daughter, she shall bring a lambe of the [Note: Hebrew: sonne of his yeere.] first yeere for a burnt offring, & a yong pigeon, or a turtle doue for a sinne offering, vnto the doore of the Tabernacle
[The purification of women.]
of the Congregation, vnto 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 borne a male or a female.
8 [Note: Luke 2:24.] And if [Note: Hebrew: her hand find not sufficiencie of.] she be not able to bring a lambe, then she shall bring two turtles, or two yong pigeons, the one for the burnt offering, and the other for a sinne offering: and the Priest shall make an atonement for her, and shee shall bee cleane.
