Chapter 12In chapter twelve, the Lord now deals with a woman who has born a child. And if it'sa male child: she shall be unclean for seven days; after the birth of the child the separation from her infirmity. And in the eighth day they shall circumcise the child. And she shall then continue in the blood of her purifying for 33 days; and [during that time] is not to touch any hallowed thing, nor come into the sanctuary, until the days of her purifying are fulfilled. But if she bears a girl... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Leviticus 12:1-8

Leviticus 12:2. Speak unto the children of Israel: that every man may convey the law to his wife, and assist in the ceremony of purification. Leviticus 12:3. Circumcised. To this law our Saviour submitted, that he might fulfil all righteousness. REFLECTIONS. By this holy law of ceremonial defilement during the season of parturition, we are reminded of the original stain and depravity of human nature, which must be cleansed with sacrificial blood, or we shall all be cut off from the... read more

The Biblical Illustrator - Leviticus 12:1-8

Leviticus 12:1-8She shall Be unclean. Birth-sin and its developmentsThe theme of the chapter is the same as that of the one preceding and the one following. The subject is sin, portrayed by symbols. In the division of the animals into clean and unclean we had the nature of sin in its general character and outward manifestations. It is a brutalisation of humanity.

Daniel Whedon

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Leviticus 12:3

3. Foreskin… circumcised The sign of the covenant (Genesis 17:11) in the excision of a portion of the genitals, expresses with painful emphasis the fact that impurity presides over the very fountain of humanity and taints all its issues. Circumcision implies depravity and symbolizes spiritual regeneration, (Deuteronomy 30:6; Jeremiah 4:4,) as does water-baptism, which takes its place in the new covenant. Colossians 2:11-12. While all are born sinful, none are born guilty, because our race... read more
