Leviticus 12

YHWH prescribes purification laws for women after childbirth, requiring seven days of uncleanness after bearing a male child and thirty-three additional days of separation from holy things.[1] On the eighth day the child is circumcised, and after the purification period the mother brings sacrifices to the priest.[1]
