Lemmas come mainly from word-level tagging of other books in the same language (not from this verse), falling back to dictionary form-matching for the rest. Rare homographs can still be misread; verify against the original and a specialist lexicon where precision matters.
ℹ️ The Chinese and English alongside are this site's own translation, made directly from the original text on this page (not the CUV or the WEB, which follow the Masoretic Text and a different textual tradition).

Speak to the sons of Israel and say to them: If a woman conceives seed and bears a male, then she shall be unclean seven days; she shall be unclean according to the days of the separation of her menstruation.
And for thirty-three days she shall remain in her unclean blood; she shall not touch anything holy, nor shall she enter the sanctuary, until the days of her purification are fulfilled.
But if she bears a female, then she shall be unclean twice seven days, as in her menstruation; and she shall remain in her unclean blood sixty-six days.
And when the days of her purification are completed, whether for a son or for a daughter, she shall bring a year-old lamb without blemish for a whole burnt offering, and a young pigeon or a turtledove for a sin offering, to the door of the tent of witness, to the priest.
And he shall offer them before the Lord, and the priest shall make atonement for her and shall cleanse her from the fountain of her blood. This is the law for the woman who bears a male or a female.
But if her hand cannot find enough for a lamb, then she shall take two turtledoves or two young pigeons, one for a whole burnt offering and one for a sin offering; and the priest shall make atonement for her, and she shall be clean.
