Leviticus 12:5 - John Wesley's Notes

Leviticus 12:5

3 And on the ^aeighth day the flesh of his foreskin shall be circumcised.

4 She shall then continue in the blood of her purification thirty-three days. She shall not touch any¹ hallowed thing, nor come into the sanctuary until the days of her purification are fulfilled.

5 ‘But if she bears a female child, then she shall be unclean two weeks, as in her customary impurity, and she shall continue in the blood of her purification sixty-six days.

6 ^a‘When the days of her purification are fulfilled, whether for a son or a daughter, she shall bring to the priest a ^blamb of the first year as a burnt offering, and a young pigeon or a turtledove as a ^csin offering, to the door of the tabernacle of meeting.

7 Then he shall offer it before the Lord, and make¹ atonement for her. And she shall be clean from the flow of her blood. This is the law for her who has borne a male or a female.

Leviticus 12:5

Threescore and six days - The time in both particulars is double to the former, not so much from natural causes, as to put an honour upon the sacrament of circumcision, which being administered to the males, did put an end to that pollution sooner than otherwise had been.
