Leviticus 12:1-4
And our Lord spake to Moyses, saying:
Speak to the children of Israel, and thou shalt say to them: A woman if receiving seed she bear a man child, shall be unclean seven days, according to the days of the separation of her flowers.
And the eighth day the little infant shall be circumcised:
but herself shall remain three & thirty days in the blood of her purification: No holy thing shall she touch, neither shall she enter into the Sanctuary, until the days of her purification be expired.
