Leviticus 12:2-4

Contemporary English Version

² to say to the community of Israel:

If a woman gives birth to a son, she is unclean for seven days, just as she is during her monthly period. ^3 (A) Her son must be circumcised on the eighth day, ⁴ but her loss of blood keeps her from being completely clean for another 33 days. During this time she must not touch anything holy or go to the place of worship.
