Leviticus 12
1 The Lord told Moses, “Give these instructions to the Israelites.
Og HERREN talede til Moses og sagde:
2 Any woman who becomes pregnant and has a boy, she will be unclean for one week, in the same way that she is unclean during her period.
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.
3 The boy's foreskin must be circumcised on the eighth day.
Paa den ottende Dag skal Drengen omskæres paa sin Forhud.
4 The woman must wait a further thirty-three days for the purification of her bleeding. She is not allowed to touch anything holy, and she is not allowed to enter the sanctuary until her time of purification is finished.
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.
5 If a woman has a daughter, she will be unclean for two weeks, in the same way that she is unclean during her menstrual period. The woman must wait a further sixty-six days for the purification of her blood.
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.
6 Once the time of purification is finished for either a son or a daughter, the woman must bring a year-old lamb as a burnt offering and a young pigeon or turtledove as a purification offering. She is to bring her offerings to the priest at the entrance of the Tent of Meeting.
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;
7 The priest will then present them to the Lord to purify her so she will be clean from her bleeding. These are the regulations for a woman after she's had a son or a daughter.
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.
8 If a woman can't afford to bring a lamb, she is to bring two turtledoves or two young pigeons. One is for the burnt offering and the other for the purification offering. The priest will offer them to purify her, and she will be clean.”
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.
