2 “Speak to the sons of Israel, saying:‘When a woman (a)gives birth and bears a male child, then she shall be unclean for seven days, (A)as in the days of (b)her menstruation she shall be unclean. 3 On (B)the eighth day the flesh of his foreskin shall be circumcised. 4 Then she shall remain in the blood of her purification for thirty-three days; she shall not touch any consecrated thing, nor enter the sanctuary until the days of her purification are completed. 5 But if she bears a female child, then she shall be unclean for two weeks, as in her (c)menstruation; and she shall remain in the blood of her purification for sixty-six days.
