Leviticus 12:4-8

4The woman shall continueH3427 in purificationH2893 from her bleedingH1818 for thirty-threeH7970H7969 daysH3117. She must notH3808 touchH5060 anythingH3605 sacredH6944 or goH935 intoH413 the sanctuaryH4720H3808 untilH5704 the daysH3117 of her purificationH2893 are completeH4390.

5If, howeverH518, she gives birth toH3205 a daughterH5347, the woman will be uncleanH2930 for two weeksH7620 as she is during her menstruationH5079. Then she must continueH3427 inH5921 purificationH2893 from her bleedingH1818 for sixty-sixH8346H3117H8337 daysH3117.

6When the daysH3117 of her purificationH2893 are completeH4390, whether for a sonH1121 orH176 for a daughterH1323, she is to bringH935 toH413 the priestH3548 atH413 the entranceH6607 to the TentH168 of MeetingH4150 a year-oldH1121H8141 lambH3532 for a burnt offeringH5930 and a youngH1121 pigeonH3123 orH176 a turtledoveH8449 for a sin offeringH2403. 7And the priest will present themH7126 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068 and make atonementH3722 for herH5921; and she shall be ceremonially cleansedH2891 from her flowH4726 of bloodH1818. ThisH2063 is the lawH8451 for a woman giving birthH3205, whether to a maleH2145 orH176 to a femaleH5347.

8But ifH518 she cannotH3808 affordH4672H1767H3027 a lambH7716, she shall bringH3947 twoH8147 turtledovesH8449 orH176 twoH8147 youngH1121 pigeonsH3123,1 oneH259 for a burnt offeringH5930 and the otherH259 for a sin offeringH2403. Then the priestH3548 will make atonementH3722 for herH5921, and she will be cleanH2891.’”
