Leviticus 12:5-6
Context12:5 If she bears a female child, she will be impure fourteen days as during her menstrual flow, and she will remain sixty-six days in 1 blood purity. 2
12:6 “‘When 3 the days of her purification are completed for a son or for a daughter, she must bring a one year old lamb 4 for a burnt offering 5 and a young pigeon or turtledove for a sin offering 6 to the entrance of the Meeting Tent, to the priest.


[12:5] 1 tn Heb “on purity blood.” The preposition here is עַל (’al) rather than בְּ (bÿ, as it is in the middle of v. 4), but no doubt the same meaning is intended.
[12:5] 2 tn For clarification of the translation here, see the notes on vv. 2-4 above.
[12:6] 3 tn Heb “And when” (so KJV, NASB). Many recent English versions leave the conjunction untranslated.
[12:6] 4 tn Heb “a lamb the son of his year”; KJV “a lamb of the first year” (NRSV “in its first year”); NAB “a yearling lamb.”
[12:6] 5 sn See the note on Lev 1:3 regarding the “burnt offering.”
[12:6] 6 sn See the note on Lev 4:3 regarding the term “sin offering.”
