A woman who conceives and bears a male
A woman who conceives and bears a male is unclean seven days. Fleshly birth needs purification. “Male” names the stronger sense.
Latin
Mulier quae conceperit et pepererit masculum immunda septem diebus. Nativitas carnis purificatione indiget. Masculus — sensus fortior.
