Levítico 12
1 Y habló el SEÑOR a Moisés, diciendo:
Yahweh said to Moses,
2 Habla a los hijos de Israel, diciendo: La mujer cuando concibiere y diere a luz varón, será inmunda siete días; conforme a los días que está separada por su menstruo, será inmunda.
“Speak to the people of Israel, saying, 'If a woman conceives and gives birth to a male child, then she will be unclean for seven days, just as she is unclean during the days of her monthly period.
3 Y al octavo día circuncidará la carne de su prepucio.
On the eighth day the flesh of a baby boy's foreskin must be circumcised.
4 Mas ella permanecerá treinta y tres días en la sangre de su purgación; ninguna cosa santa tocará, ni vendrá al santuario, hasta que sean cumplidos los días de su purgación.
Then the mother's purification from her bleeding will continue for thirty-three days. She must not touch any holy thing or come into the tabernacle area until the days of her purification are finished.
5 Y si diere a luz hembra será inmunda dos semanas, conforme a su separación, y sesenta y seis días estará purificándose de su sangre.
But if she gives birth to a female child, then she will be unclean for two weeks, as she is during her period. Then the mother's purification will continue for sixty-six days.
6 Y cuando los días de su purgación fueren cumplidos, por hijo o por hija, traerá un cordero de un año para holocausto, y un palomino o una tórtola para expiación, a la puerta del tabernáculo del testimonio, al sacerdote;
When the days of her purification are finished, for a son or for a daughter, she must bring a one year old lamb as a burnt offering, and a young pigeon or dove as a sin offering, to the entrance of the tent of meeting, to the priest.
7 y lo ofrecerá delante del SEÑOR, y la reconciliará, y será limpia del flujo de su sangre. Esta es la ley de la que diere a luz varón o hembra.
Then he will offer it before Yahweh and make atonement for her, and she will be cleansed from the flow of her blood. This is the law regarding a woman who gives birth to either a male or a female child.
8 Y si no tiene lo suficiente para un cordero, tomará entonces dos tórtolas o dos palominos, uno para holocausto, y otro para expiación; y la reconciliará el sacerdote, y será limpia.
If she is not able to afford a lamb, then she must take two doves or two young pigeons, one as a burnt offering and the other as a sin offering, and the priest will make atonement for her; then she will be clean.'”
