Leviticus 12:3-5

Common English Bible

³ On the eighth day, the flesh of the boy’s foreskin must be circumcised. ⁴ For thirty-three days the mother will be in a state of blood purification. She must not touch anything holy or enter the sacred area until her time of purification is completed. ⁵ But if the woman gives birth to a daughter, she will be unclean for two weeks—just as she is during her menstrual period—and will be in a state of blood purification^[a] for sixty-six days.
