產婦潔淨之條例

12 耶和華對摩西說: “你要告訴以色列人:如果有婦人懷孕,生了男孩,她就不潔淨七天,好像患病污穢的日子不潔淨一樣。 第八天男嬰要受割禮。 婦人潔淨產血的時期要住在家三十三天;得潔淨的日子未滿之前,她不可觸摸任何聖物,也不可進入聖潔的地方。 如果她生了女孩,就不潔淨十四天,像月經污穢的日子一樣;婦人潔淨產血的時期,要住在家裡六十六天。

“潔淨的日子滿了,不論是為男孩或是為女孩,她都要用一隻一歲的綿羊羔作燔祭,一隻雛鴿,或一隻斑鳩作贖罪祭,帶到會幕門口那裡,交給祭司。 祭司把供物獻在耶和華面前,為她贖罪,她的血就潔淨了。以上是生育男女的律例。 她的經濟能力若是不夠獻一隻羊羔,她可以拿兩隻斑鳩,或是兩隻雛鴿,一隻作燔祭,一隻作贖罪祭;祭司要為她贖罪,她就潔淨了。”

產婦潔淨的條例

12 耶和華對摩西說: 「你把以下條例告訴以色列人。

「如果有婦人生了男嬰,她就要不潔淨七天,像在經期內不潔淨一樣。 第八天,嬰兒要接受割禮。 婦人因產後流血,要等三十三天才能潔淨。其間,不可接觸任何聖物,也不可進入聖所。 如果婦人生的是女嬰,她就要不潔淨十四天,像在經期內不潔淨一樣。她因產後流血,要等六十六天才能潔淨。 不論她生男生女,潔淨期滿後,都要預備一隻一歲的羊羔作燔祭、一隻雛鴿或斑鳩作贖罪祭,帶到會幕門口交給祭司。 祭司要在耶和華面前獻祭,為她贖罪,她就潔淨了。這是有關產婦的條例。 她若負擔不起一隻羊羔,可以帶兩隻斑鳩或雛鴿來,一隻作燔祭,一隻作贖罪祭。祭司為她贖罪後,她就潔淨了。」

Purification After Childbirth

12 The Lord said to Moses, “Say to the Israelites: ‘A woman who becomes pregnant and gives birth to a son will be ceremonially unclean for seven days, just as she is unclean during her monthly period.(A) On the eighth day(B) the boy is to be circumcised.(C) Then the woman must wait thirty-three days to be purified from her bleeding. She must not touch anything sacred or go to the sanctuary until the days of her purification are over. If she gives birth to a daughter, for two weeks the woman will be unclean, as during her period. Then she must wait sixty-six days to be purified from her bleeding.

“‘When the days of her purification for a son or daughter are over,(D) she is to bring to the priest at the entrance to the tent of meeting a year-old lamb(E) for a burnt offering and a young pigeon or a dove for a sin offering.[a](F) He shall offer them before the Lord to make atonement for her, and then she will be ceremonially clean from her flow of blood.

“‘These are the regulations for the woman who gives birth to a boy or a girl. But if she cannot afford a lamb, she is to bring two doves or two young pigeons,(G) one for a burnt offering and the other for a sin offering.(H) In this way the priest will make atonement for her, and she will be clean.(I)’”

The Ritual After Childbirth(A)

12 Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, “Speak to the children of Israel, saying: ‘If a (B)woman has conceived, and borne a male child, then (C)she shall be [a]unclean seven days; (D)as in the days of her customary impurity she shall be unclean. And on the (E)eighth day the flesh of his foreskin shall be circumcised. She shall then continue in the blood of her purification thirty-three days. She shall not touch any [b]hallowed thing, nor come into the sanctuary until the days of her purification are fulfilled.

‘But if she bears a female child, then she shall be unclean two weeks, as in her customary impurity, and she shall continue in the blood of her purification sixty-six days.

(F)‘When the days of her purification are fulfilled, whether for a son or a daughter, she shall bring to the priest a (G)lamb [c]of the first year as a burnt offering, and a young pigeon or a turtledove as a (H)sin offering, to the door of the tabernacle of meeting. Then he shall offer it before the Lord, and make [d]atonement for her. And she shall be clean from the flow of her blood. This is the law for her who has borne a male or a female.

(I)‘And if she is not able to bring a lamb, then she may bring two turtledoves or two young pigeons—one as a burnt offering and the other as a sin offering. (J)So the priest shall make atonement for her, and she will be [e]clean.’ ”
