Tazria תזריע

Tazria (“She Bears Seed”) opens by describing the purification process for a woman after childbirth. It then describes different forms of *tzara’at*, a discoloration condition on skin or clothing, and the requirement of an infected person to dwell alone outside the camp and be inspected by a priest.

Summary: Sefaria

וַיְדַבֵּר יְהוָה אֶל־מֹשֶׁה לֵּאמֹר׃

^12:1 And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying:

דַּבֵּר אֶל־בְּנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל לֵאמֹר אִשָּׁה כִּי תַזְרִיעַ וְיָלְדָה זָכָר וְטָמְאָה שִׁבְעַת יָמִים כִּימֵי נִדַּת דְּוֺתָהּ תִּטְמָא׃

^12:2 Speak 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.

וּבַיּוֹם הַשְּׁמִינִי יִמּוֹל בְּשַׂר עָרְלָתוֹ׃

^12:3 And in the eighth day the flesh of his foreskin shall be circumcised.
