Commandment 167 states that a woman who has given birth confers ritual impurity on contact.

Commandment 168 forbids a ritually unclean person to eat any part of the sacrifices or other hallowed matter that may otherwise be eaten by someone who is ritually clean. The operative verse is "she must not touch anything that is holy" (12,4). Our sages in Makkot 14 view this as a prohibition directed at the person eating such "holy" things.

Commandment 169 provides for the woman who has given birth to offer an appropriate sacrifice after her confinement.

Commandment 172 instructs such a person how to conduct himself during the purifying period such as tearing his clothing and letting his hair grow wild so as to identify himself as stricken.

Commandment 173 deals with similar afflictions if they appear in one's clothing instead of on one's skin.
