3 Mosebog 12
1 Og Herren talede til Mose og sagde:
And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
2 Tal til Israels Børn og sig: Naar en Kvinde undfanger og føder en Dreng, da skal hun være uren syv Dage, lige som de Dage ere, i hvilke hun er uren ved sin Svaghed.
Speak to the sons of Israel, and you shall say to them: A woman, if she has received the seed to bear a male, shall be unclean for seven days, just as in the days of separation due to menstruation.
3 Og paa den ottende Dag skal hans Forhuds Kød omskæres.
And on the eighth day, the little infant shall be circumcised.
4 Og hun skal blive hjemme i tre og tredive Dage, under hendes Blods Renselse; hun skal ikke røre ved noget helligt og ikke komme til Helligdommen, førend hendes Renselses Dage ere fuldendte.
Yet truly, she herself shall remain for thirty-three days in the blood of her purification. She shall not touch anything holy, nor shall she enter into the Sanctuary, until the days of her purification are completed.
5 Men føder hun en Pige, da skal hun være uren to Uger, som under hendes Svaghed; og hun skal blive hjemme seks og tresindstyve Dage, under hendes Blods Renselse.
But if she will bear a female, she shall be unclean for two weeks, according to the custom of her monthly flow, and she shall remain in the blood of her purification for sixty-six days.
6 Og naar hendes Renselsesdage ere fuldendte efter en Søn eller efter en Datter, skal hun fremføre et aargammelt Lam til Brændoffer, og en Dueunge eller en Turteldue til Syndoffer, til Forsamlingens Pauluns Dør, til Præsten.
And when the days of her purification have been completed, for a son or for a daughter, she shall bring to the door of the tabernacle of the testimony, a one-year-old lamb as a holocaust, and a young pigeon or a turtledove for sin, and she shall deliver them to the priest.
7 Og han skal ofre det for Herrens Ansigt og gøre Forligelse for hende, saa bliver hun ren efter sin Blodgang, Dette er Loven for hende, som føder en Dreng eller Pige.
He shall offer them in the sight of the Lord, and he shall pray for her. And so she shall be cleansed from the issue of her blood. This is the law for one who bears a male or a female.
8 Men formaar hendes Haand ikke et Lam, da skal hun tage to Turtelduer eller to unge Duer, een til Brændoffer og een til Syndoffer; saa skal Præsten gøre Forligelse for hende, og hun er ren.
And if her hand has not obtained or been able to offer a lamb, she shall take two turtledoves or two young pigeons: one as a holocaust, and the other for sin. And the priest shall pray for her, and so she shall be cleansed.
