Leviticus 12:6 - Jamieson, Fausset, and Brown

Leviticus 12:6

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.

8 ^a‘And if she is not able to bring a lamb, then she may bring two turtledoves or two young pigeons—one as a burnt offering and the other as a sin offering. ^bSo the priest shall make atonement for her, and she will be¹ clean.’ ”

Leviticus 12:6-8

the days of her purifying—Though the occasion was of a festive character, yet the sacrifices appointed were not a peace offering, but a burnt offering and sin offering, in order to impress the mind of the parent with recollections of the origin of sin, and that the child inherited a fallen and sinful nature. The offerings were to be presented the day after the period of her separation had ended—that is, forty-first for a boy, eighty-first for a girl.
