The Pulpit Commentary - Leviticus 12:1-8

Born in sin. cf. Genesis 3:16 ; Psalms 51:5 ; Luke 2:21 ; 1 Timothy 2:15 . From the division of the animals into clean and unclean, and the sanctity thereby inculcated, we are invited to proceed to those personal liabilities to uncleanness for which due rites were provided. The first of these takes life at its fountain-head, and refers to the uncleanness connected with birth. Motherhood involved a longer or shorter period of ceremonial separation—forty days in the case of a son,... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Leviticus 12:1-8

The statutes on maternity. We may seek— I. THE EXPLANATION or THIS STATUTE . And we shall find the explanation 1 . The sorrow of maternity ( John 16:21 ) points clearly to the primeval curse, and therefore to the primeval sin ( Genesis 3:16 ). 2 . The birth of a human child means the entrance into the world of one in whom are the germs of sin ( Psalms 51:5 ; Psalms 58:3 ; Ephesians 2:3 ). 3 . Maternity suggests the sexual relation, and that suggests the... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Leviticus 12:2-4

She shall be unclean seven days. The mother is to be unclean seven days, and after that to be in the blood of her purifying three and thirty days ( Leviticus 12:4 ). The difference between these two states maybe seen by looking on to Le Leviticus 15:19-28 , and comparing that passage with Leviticus 15:4 of this chapter. In the first stage, during the seven days, she made all that she touched unclean; in the second stage, during the thirty-three days, she was only required to touch... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Leviticus 12:2-7

Woman under the Law and under the gospel. Every childbirth re-echoes in the ears of woman the sentence passed upon her ancestress Eve. That such a season of rejoicing should be attended with such throes of agony speaks loudly of the curse entailed by sin. There is no earthly pleasure entirely free from its shadow, pain. Great movements of society, deep thoughts, even inspiring melodies, are not ushered into the world without the pangs of travail. I. THE LAW REMINDS US HERE ... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Leviticus 12:2

Leviticus 12:2. Seven days Not for any filthiness which was either in the conception, or in bringing forth, but to signify the universal and deep pollution of man’s nature, even from the birth, and from the conception. Seven days, or thereabouts, nature is employed in the purgation of most women. Her infirmity Her monthly infirmity. And it may note an agreement therewith not only in the time, (Leviticus 15:19,) but in the degree of uncleanness. read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Leviticus 12:4

Leviticus 12:4. In the blood of her purifying In her polluted and separated estate; for the word blood, or bloods, signifies both guilt and uncleanness, as here and elsewhere. And it is called the blood of her purifying, because by the expulsion or purgation of that blood, which is done by degrees, she is purified. No hallowed thing She shall not eat any part of the peace- offerings which she or her husband offered, which otherwise she might have done; and, if she be a priest’s... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Leviticus 12:1-8

Concerning childbirth (12:1-8)One consequence of Eve’s sin that affected women in general was the trouble and pain of childbirth (Genesis 3:16). The process of conceiving and giving birth was affected by sin from the beginning (Psalms 51:5), which is probably the reason why Israelite law required the mother to be ceremonially cleansed after childbirth. If the child born was a boy, the mother was cut off from physical contact with members of her family for seven days, and from all things... read more
