**Lev 12:2,4,6-7,8: If a woman have conceived seed, and born a ... child, then she shall be unclean. ... [and] shall continue in the blood of her purifying ...; she shall touch no hallowed thing, nor come into the sanctuary, until the days of her purifying be fulfilled. ... when the days of her purifying are fulfilled, ... she shall bring a lamb of the first year for a burnt offering, and a young pigeon, or a turtledove, for a sin offering, ... unto the priest, Who shall offer it before the LORD, and make an atonement for her; and she shall be cleansed from the issue of her blood. ... And if she be not able to bring a lamb, then she shall bring two turtles, or two young pigeons.
