Levítico 12

1 Y habló Jehová a Moisés, diciendo:

Then the LORD said to Moses,

2 Habla a los hijos de Israel, diciendo: La mujer cuando concibiere, y pariere varón, será inmunda siete días: conforme a los días del apartamiento de su menstruo será inmunda.

“Say to the Israelites, ‘A woman who becomes pregnant and gives birth to a son will be unclean for seven days, as she is during the days of her menstruation.

3 Y al octavo día circuncidará la carne de su prepucio.

And on the eighth day the flesh of the boy’s foreskin is to be circumcised.

4 Y treinta y tres días estará en las sangres de su purgación: ninguna cosa santa tocará, ni vendrá al santuario, hasta que sean cumplidos los días de su purgación.

The woman shall continue in purification from her bleeding for thirty-three days. She must not touch anything sacred or go into the sanctuary until the days of her purification are complete.

5 Y si pariere hembra, será inmunda dos semanas, conforme a su apartamiento, y sesenta y seis días estará en las sangres de su purificación.

If, however, she gives birth to a daughter, the woman will be unclean for two weeks as she is during her menstruation. Then she must continue in purification from her bleeding for sixty-six days.

6 Y desde que los días de su purgación fueren cumplidos, por hijo, o por hija, traerá un cordero de un año para holocausto; y un palomino, o una tórtola para expiación, a la puerta del tabernáculo del testimonio, al sacerdote.

When the days of her purification are complete, whether for a son or for a daughter, she is to bring to the priest at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting a year-old lamb for a burnt offering and a young pigeon or a turtledove for a sin offering.

7 Y ofrecerlo ha delante de Jehová, y reconciliarla ha, y será limpia del flujo de su sangre. Esta es la ley de la que pariere macho, o hembra.

And the priest will present them before the LORD and make atonement for her; and she shall be ceremonially cleansed from her flow of blood. This is the law for a woman giving birth, whether to a male or to a female.

8 Y si no alcanzare su mano asaz para cordero, entonces tomará dos tórtolas, o dos palominos, uno para holocausto, y otro para expiación: y reconciliarla ha el sacerdote, y será limpia.

But if she cannot afford a lamb, she shall bring two turtledoves or two young pigeons, one for a burnt offering and the other for a sin offering. Then the priest will make atonement for her, and she will be clean.’”
