1. The Lord said to Moses:
2. Tell the Israelites: When a woman has a child, giving birth to a boy, she shall be unclean for seven days, with the same uncleanness as during her menstrual period.
3. On the eighth day, the flesh of the boy’s foreskin shall be circumcised,
4. and then she shall spend thirty-three days more in a state of blood purity; she shall not touch anything sacred nor enter the sanctuary till the days of her purification are fulfilled.
