Leviticus 12:5-7
New King James Version
5 ‘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 (A)‘When the days of her purification are fulfilled, whether for a son or a daughter, she shall bring to the priest a (B)lamb [a]of the first year as a burnt offering, and a young pigeon or a turtledove as a (C)sin offering, to the door of the tabernacle of meeting. 7 Then he shall offer it before the Lord, and make [b]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.
