[The Pentateuch]

¶ The .xij. Chapter.

And the Lord spake unto Moses and said: speak unto the children of Israel and say: when a woman hath conceived and hath borne a man child, she shall be unclean .vij. days: even in like manner as when she is put apart in time of her natural disease. And in the viij. day the flesh of the child's foreskin shall be cut away. And she shall continue in the blood of her purifying .xxxiij. days, she shall ⟨p. XX⟩twitch no hallowed thing nor come in to the sanctuary, until the time of her purifying be out. If she bear a maid child, then she shall be unclean two weeks as when she hath her natural disease. And she shall continue in the blood of her purifying .lxvj. days.

ANd the Lorde spake vnto Moses and sayde: speake vnto the childern of Israel ād saye: whē a womā hath conceaued ād hath borne a man childe, she shalbe vnclene .vij. dayes: euen in like maner as when she is put aparte in tyme of hir naturall disease. And in the viij. daye the flesh of the childes foreskynne shalbe cut awaye. And she shall cōtynue in the bloude of hir purifienge .xxxiij. dayes, she shal ⟨p. XX⟩twytch no halowed thinge nor come in to the sanctuary, vntyll the tyme of hir purifienge be out. Yf she bere a maydehilde, then she shalbe vnclene two wekes as when she hath hir naturall disease. And she shall contynue in the bloude of hir purifienge .lxvj. dayes.

And when the days of her purifying are out: whether it be a son or a daughter, she shall bring a lamb of one year old for a burnt offering and a young pigeon or a turtle do ue for a sin offering unto the door of the tabernacle of witness unto the priest: which shall offer them before the Lord and make an atonement for her, and so she shall be purged of her issue of blood. This is the law of her that hath borne a child, whether it be male or female.
