But if she gives birth to a female child, then she shall be unclean for two weeks, as in her menstruation; and she shall stay at home in her condition of [a]blood purification for sixty-six days.

(A)When the days of her purification are completed, for a son or for a daughter, she shall bring to the priest at the doorway of the tent of meeting a one-year-old lamb as a burnt offering and a young pigeon or a turtledove (B)as a [b]sin offering. Then he shall offer it before the Lord and make atonement for her, and she shall be cleansed from the [c]flow of her blood. This is the law for her who gives birth to a child, whether a male or a female.
