CHAPTER 12
1 And the Lord spake to Moses, and said,

2 Speak thou to the sons of Israel, and thou shalt say to them, If a woman, when she hath received seed, childeth a knave child, she shall be unclean by seven days, by the days of her separating of corruptible blood, that runneth from her by months;

3 and the young child shall be circumcised in the eighth day.

4 Soothly she shall dwell three and thirty days in the blood of her purifying; she shall not touch any holy thing, neither she shall enter into the saintuary, till the days of her cleansing be [ful] filled.

5 Soothly if she childeth a female, she shall be unclean two weeks, by the custom of [the] flowing of unclean blood, and threescore and six days she shall dwell in the blood of her cleansing.

6 And when the days of her cleansing, for a son, or for a daughter, be fulfilled, she shall bring a lamb of one year into burnt sacrifice, and a culver bird, either a turtle, for sin, to the door of the tabernacle of witnessing; and she shall give to the priest,

7 which shall offer those before the Lord, and shall pray for her, and so she shall be cleansed from the flowing of her blood. This is the law of a woman that childeth male, or female.

8 That if her hand find not, neither she may offer a lamb, she shall take two turtles, either two culver birds, one into burnt sacrifice, and the tother for sin; and the priest shall pray for her, and so she shall be cleansed.
