A woman whom other people must not touch because she is bleeding from her womb is spoken of as if she were physically unclean. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor]])
Only the priest could perform this action. This can be translated in active form. AT: "a priest must circumcise the baby boy" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-activepassive]])
