12:6 “‘When 1 the days of her purification are completed for a son or for a daughter, she must bring a one year old lamb 2 for a burnt offering 3 and a young pigeon or turtledove for a sin offering 4 to the entrance of the Meeting Tent, to the priest.

3 sn See the note on Lev 1:3 regarding the “burnt offering.”
4 sn See the note on Lev 4:3 regarding the term “sin offering.”
