1 H abló Jehová a Moisés, diciendo:

Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,

2 H abla a los hijos de Israel y diles: La mujer cuando conciba y dé a luz varón, será inmunda siete días; conforme a los días de su menstruación será inmunda.

“Speak to the children of Israel, saying: ‘If a woman has conceived, and borne a male child, then she shall be unclean seven days; as in the days of her customary impurity she shall be unclean.

3 Y al octavo día se circuncidará al niño.

And on the eighth day the flesh of his foreskin shall be circumcised.

4 M as ella permanecerá treinta y tres días purificándose de su sangre; ninguna cosa santa tocará, ni vendrá al santuario, hasta cuando sean cumplidos los días de su purificación.

She shall then continue in the blood of her purification thirty-three days. She shall not touch any hallowed thing, nor come into the sanctuary until the days of her purification are fulfilled.

5 Y si diere a luz hija, será inmunda dos semanas, conforme a su separación, y sesenta y seis días estará purificándose de su sangre.

‘But if she bears a female child, then she shall be unclean two weeks, as in her customary impurity, and she shall continue in the blood of her purification sixty-six days.

6 C uando los días de su purificación 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 de reunión, al sacerdote;

‘When the days of her purification are fulfilled, whether for a son or a daughter, she shall bring to the priest a lamb of the first year as a burnt offering, and a young pigeon or a turtledove as a sin offering, to the door of the tabernacle of meeting.

7 y él los ofrecerá delante de Jehová, y hará expiación por ella, y será limpia del flujo de su sangre. Esta es la ley para la que diere a luz hijo o hija.

Then he shall offer it before the Lord, and make atonement for her. And she shall be clean from the flow of her blood. This is the law for her who has borne a male or a female.

8 Y si no tiene lo suficiente para un cordero, tomará entonces dos tórtolas o dos palominos, uno para holocausto y otro para expiación; y el sacerdote hará expiación por ella, y será limpia.

‘And if she is not able to bring a lamb, then she may bring two turtledoves or two young pigeons—one as a burnt offering and the other as a sin offering. So the priest shall make atonement for her, and she will be clean.’”
