6And when the days of her purification are completed, whether for a son or for a daughter, she shall bring a year-old lamb for a burnt offering, and a young pigeon or a turtledove for a sin offering, to the priest at the entrance of the tent of meeting.

7And he shall present it before Yahweh and make atonement for her, and she shall be cleansed from the source of her blood. This is the law for the woman who gives birth, whether to a male or to a female.
