    1TheLORDsaidtoMoses,

    上主训示梅瑟说:

    21"TelltheIsraelites:Whenawomanhasconceivedandgivesbirthtoaboy,sheshallbeuncleanforsevendays,withthesameuncleannessasathermenstrualperiod.

    "你告诉以色列子民说:若一妇人分娩,生一男孩,七天之久,她是不洁的;她不洁有如经期不洁一样。

    3Ontheeighthday,thefleshoftheboy'sforeskinshallbecircumcised,

    第八天,应给孩子割损。

    4andthensheshallspendthirty-threedaysmoreinbecomingpurifiedofherblood;sheshallnottouchanythingsacrednorenterthesanctuarytillthedaysofherpurificationarefulfilled.

    此外,她还要守度三十三天的洁血期。在未满取洁的日期以前,不可接触任何圣物,不可走进圣所。

    5Ifshegivesbirthtoagirl,forfourteendayssheshallbeasuncleanasathermenstruation,afterwhichsheshallspendsixty-sixdaysinbecomingpurifiedofherblood.

    若生一女孩,两星期是不洁的,有如经期一样。此外,还要守度六十六天的洁血期。

    6"Whenthedaysofherpurificationforasonorforadaughterarefulfilled,sheshallbringtothepriestattheentranceofthemeetingtentayearlinglambforaholocaustandapigeonoraturtledoveforasinoffering.

    一满了取洁的日期,不拘为儿子或女儿,她应在会幕门口交给司祭一只一岁的羔羊,做全燔祭;一只雏鸽或一只斑鸠,献作赎罪祭。

    7ThepriestshallofferthemupbeforetheLORDtomakeatonementforher,andthusshewillbecleanagainafterherflowofblood.Suchisthelawforthewomanwhogivesbirthtoaboyoragirlchild.

    司祭将祭品奉献在上主面前,为她行赎罪礼,她才算由流血的状况中洁净了:以上是关于生男或生女的妇人的法律。

    82If,however,shecannotaffordalamb,shemaytaketwoturtledovesortwopigeons,theoneforaholocaustandtheotherforasinoffering.Thepriestshallmakeatonementforher,andthusshewillagainbeclean."

    但若她的财力不够备办一只羔羊,可带两只斑鸠或两只雏鸽:一只献作全燔祭,一只献作赎罪祭。司祭为他行赎罪礼,她就洁净了。
