22 (C)And when the days for their cleansing according to the Law of Moses were fulfilled, they brought Him up to Jerusalem to present Him to the [a]Lord 23 (as it is written in the Law of the [b]Lord, “(D)Every firstborn male that opens the womb shall be called holy to the [c]Lord”), 24 and to offer a sacrifice according to what was said in the Law of the [d]Lord, “(E)A pair of turtledoves or two young pigeons.”
