Levitski zakonik 12
1 Jahve reče Mojsiju:
The LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
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 children of Israel, saying, ‘If a woman conceives, and bears a male child, then she shall be unclean seven days; as in the days of her monthly period she shall be unclean.
3 Osmoga dana neka se dijete obreže.
In the eighth day the flesh of his foreskin shall 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.
She shall continue in the blood of purification thirty-three days. She shall not touch any holy thing, nor come into the sanctuary, until the days of her purifying are completed.
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 bears a female child, then she shall be unclean two weeks, as in her period; and she shall continue in the blood of purification 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 completed for a son or for a daughter, she shall bring to the priest at the door of the Tent of Meeting, a year old lamb for a burnt offering, and a young pigeon or a turtledove, for a sin offering.
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.
He shall offer it before the LORD, and make atonement for her; then she shall be cleansed from the fountain of her blood. “‘This is the law for her who bears, whether a male or a female.
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 cannot afford a lamb, then she shall take two turtledoves or two young pigeons: the one for a burnt offering, and the other for a sin offering. The priest shall make atonement for her, and she shall be clean.’”
