18:16, 22 December 2008 == Vayikra (Book of Leviticus), Chapter 12 ==
<named id="1"/><sup>1</sup> And HaShem spoke unto Moses, saying:
<named id="2"/><sup>2</sup> Speak unto the children of Israel, saying: If a woman be delivered, and bear a man-child, then she shall be unclean seven days; as in the days of the impurity of her sickness shall she be unclean.
<named id="3"/><sup>3</sup> And in the eighth day the flesh of his foreskin shall be circumcised.
<named id="4"/><sup>4</sup> And she shall continue in the blood of purification three and thirty days; she shall touch no hallowed thing, nor come into the sanctuary, until the days of her purification be fulfilled.
<named id="5"/><sup>5</sup> But if she bear a maid-child, then she shall be unclean two weeks, as in her impurity; and she shall continue in the blood of purification threescore and six days.
<named id="6"/><sup>6</sup> And when the days of her purification are fulfilled, for a son, or for a daughter, she shall bring a lamb of the first year for a burnt-offering, and a young pigeon, or a turtle-dove, for a sin-offering, unto the door of the tent of meeting, unto the priest.
<named id="7"/><sup>7</sup> And he shall offer it before HaShem, and make atonement for her; and she shall be cleansed from the fountain of her blood. This is the law for her that beareth, whether a male or a female.
<named id="8"/><sup>8</sup> And if her means suffice not for a lamb, then she shall take two turtle-doves, or two young pigeons: the one for a burnt-offering, and the other for a sin-offering; and the priest shall make atonement for her, and she shall be clean.
