Leviticus 12:2-5

2“Speak to the sons of Israel, saying:

‘When a woman gives birth and delivers a male child, then she shall be unclean for seven days; 1as she is in the days of her menstruation, she shall be unclean. 3Then on 2the eighth day the flesh of his foreskin shall be circumcised. 4And she shall stay at home in her condition of 3blood purification for thirty-three days; she shall not touch any consecrated thing, nor enter the sanctuary until the days of her purification are completed. 5But if she gives birth to a female child, then she shall be unclean for two weeks, as in her menstruation; and she shall stay at home in her condition of 4blood purification for sixty-six days.
