3 Mosebog 12
1 Og HERREN talede til Moses og sagde:
And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
2 Tal til Israeliterne og sig: Naar en Kvinde bliver frugtsommelig og føder en Dreng, skal hun være uren i syv Dage; ligesom i den Tid hun har sin maanedlige Urenhed, skal hun være uren.
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 Paa den ottende Dag skal Drengen omskæres paa sin Forhud.
And on the eighth day, the little infant shall be circumcised.
4 Derefter skal hun holde sig hjemme i tre og tredive Dage, medens hun har sit Renselsesblod; hun maa ikke røre ved noget helligt eller komme til Helligdommen, før hendes Renselsestid er omme.
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 Føder hun derimod et Pigebarn, skal hun være uren i to Uger ligesom under sin maanedlige Urenhed; og derpaa skal hun holde sig hjemme i seks og tresindstyve Dage, medens hun har sit Renselsesblod.
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 Naar hendes Renselsestid er omme, skal hun, baade efter et Drengebarn og et Pigebarn, bringe et aargammelt Lam som Brændoffer og en Dueunge eller Turteldue som Syndoffer til Præsten ved Aabenbaringsteltets Indgang;
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 frembære det for HERRENS Aasyn og skaffe hende Soning, saa hun bliver ren efter sit Blodtab. Det er Loven om en Kvinde, der føder, hvad enten det er en Dreng eller en 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 hvis hun ikke evner at give et Lam, skal hun tage to Turtelduer eller Dueunger, en til Brændoffer og en til Syndoffer, og Præsten skal skaffe hende Soning, saa hun bliver 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.
