וַיְדַבֵּ֥ר יְהוָ֖ה אֶל־מֹשֶׁ֥ה לֵּאמֹֽר׃
12:1And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying:
דַּבֵּ֞ר אֶל־בְּנֵ֤י יִשְׂרָאֵל֙ לֵאמֹ֔ר אִשָּׁה֙ כִּ֣י תַזְרִ֔יעַ וְיָלְדָ֖ה זָכָ֑ר וְטָֽמְאָה֙ שִׁבְעַ֣ת יָמִ֔ים כִּימֵ֛י נִדַּ֥ת דְּוֺתָ֖הּ תִּטְמָֽא׃
12:2Speak unto the children of Israel, saying: If a woman be delivered, and bear a man-child, then she shall be unclean seven days; as in the days of the impurity of her sickness shall she be unclean.
וּבַיּ֖וֹם הַשְּׁמִינִ֑י יִמּ֖וֹל בְּשַׂ֥ר עָרְלָתֽוֹ׃
12:3And in the eighth day the flesh of his foreskin shall be circumcised.

|---|---|---|
| 1 | Leviticus 12:1 to 13:5 | And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying: |
| 2 | Leviticus 13:6 to 17 | And the priest shall look on him again the seventh day; and, behold, if the plague be dim, and the plague be not spread in the skin, then the priest shall pronounce him clean: it is a scab; and he shall wash his clothes, and be clean. |
| 3 | Leviticus 13:18 to 23 | And when the flesh hath in the skin thereof a boil, and it is healed, |
| 4 | Leviticus 13:24 to 28 | Or when the flesh hath in the skin thereof a burning by fire, and the quick flesh of the burning become a bright spot, reddish-white, or white; |
| 5 | Leviticus 13:29 to 39 | And when a man or woman hath a plague upon the head or upon the beard, |
| 6 | Leviticus 13:40 to 54 | And if a man’s hair be fallen off his head, he is bald; yet is he clean. |
| 7 | Leviticus 13:55 to 59 | And the priest shall look, after that the plague is washed; and, behold, if the plague have not changed its colour, and the plague be not spread, it is unclean; thou shalt burn it in the fire; it is a fret, whether the bareness be within or without. |
| Maftir | Leviticus 13:57 to 59 | And if it appear still in the garment, or in the warp, or in the woof, or in any thing of skin, it is breaking out, thou shalt burn that wherein the plague is with fire. |
