Levitski zakonik 12
1 Jahve reče Mojsiju:
Yahweh said to Moses,
2 “Kaži Izraelcima: 'Kad koja žena zatrudni i rodi muško čedo, neka je nečista sedam dana, kako je nečista u vrijeme svoga mjesečnog pranja.
“Speak to the people of Israel, saying, 'If a woman conceives and gives birth to a male child, then she will be unclean for seven days, just as she is unclean during the days of her monthly period.
3 Osmoga dana neka se dijete obreže.
On the eighth day the flesh of a baby boy's foreskin must be circumcised.
4 A ona neka ostane još trideset i tri dana da se očisti od svoje krvi; ne smije dirati ništa posvećeno niti dolaziti u Svetište dok se ne navrši vrijeme njezina čišćenja.
Then the mother's purification from her bleeding will continue for thirty-three days. She must not touch any holy thing or come into the tabernacle area until the days of her purification are finished.
5 Ako rodi žensko čedo, neka je nečista dva tjedna, kao za svoga mjesečnog pranja, i neka ostane još šezdeset i šest dana da se očisti od svoje krvi.
But if she gives birth to a female child, then she will be unclean for two weeks, as she is during her period. Then the mother's purification will continue for sixty-six days.
6 A kad se navrši vrijeme njezina čišćenja - bilo za sinčića, bilo za kćerkicu - neka donese svećeniku na ulaz u Šator sastanka jednogodišnje janje za žrtvu paljenicu i jednoga golubića ili grlicu za žrtvu okajnicu.
When the days of her purification are finished, for a son or for a daughter, she must bring a one year old lamb as a burnt offering, and a young pigeon or dove as a sin offering, to the entrance of the tent of meeting, to the priest.
7 Neka on to prinese pred Jahvom i nad njom izvrši obred pomirenja. Tako će ona biti očišćena od svoga krvarenja. To je odredba koja se odnosi na ženu kad rodi bilo muško bilo žensko čedo.
Then he will offer it before Yahweh and make atonement for her, and she will be cleansed from the flow of her blood. This is the law regarding a woman who gives birth to either a male or a female child.
8 Ali ako ne može da nađe dovoljno sredstava za grlo od sitnoga stada, neka onda uzme dvije grlice ili dva golubića - jedno za žrtvu paljenicu, a drugo za žrtvu okajnicu. Neka svećenik izvrši nad njom obred pomirenja, i ona će biti očišćena'.”
If she is not able to afford a lamb, then she must take two doves or two young pigeons, one as a burnt offering and the other as a sin offering, and the priest will make atonement for her; then she will be clean.'”
