Leviticus 12
1 Yahweh also said to Moses/me,
Og Herren talede til Mose og sagde:
2 “Tell this to the Israeli people: ‘If a woman gives birth to a son, she must be avoided for seven days, like she must be avoided when she is menstruating each month.
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.
3 The baby son must be circumcised on the eighth day after he is born.
Og paa den ottende Dag skal hans Forhuds Kød omskæres.
4 Then the woman must wait 33 days to be purified from her bleeding [during childbirth]. She must not touch anything that is sacred or enter the Sacred Tent area until that time is ended.
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.
5 If a woman gives birth to a daughter, she must be avoided for two weeks, like she must be avoided when she is menstruating each month. Then she must wait 66 days to be purified from the bleeding that occurred [when her baby was born].
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.
6 ‘Then that time for her to be purified is ended, that woman must bring to the priest at the entrance of the Sacred Tent a one-year-old lamb to be completely burned [on the altar], and a dove or a young pigeon [to be sacrificed] to enable her to become acceptable to Yahweh again.
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.
7 The priest will offer them to Yahweh in order that she may be forgiven for any sins she has committed. Then she will be purified from her loss of blood [when the baby was born]. ‘Those are the regulations for women who give birth to a son or daughter.
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.
8 If a woman who gives birth to a child cannot afford a lamb, she must bring two doves or two young pigeons. One will be burned completely [on the altar], and one will be an offering to enable her to become acceptable to God again. By doing that, the priest will cause that she will be forgiven for any sins she has committed, and she no longer will need to be avoided.’”
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.
