Bible Question: how long did a woman bleed after the sex of either boy or girl i am understanding this wrong levicitus chapter 12 |
Bible Answer: Juststudyingthebible: This passage of scripture is a law regarding how to come to the tabernacle to worship God. There were very specific rules. It is not about how long a women physically has her flow. There was a waiting time whether it was a boy or girl bably that she was to wait before coming to the tabernacle to worship. This is part of the covenant that was done away with, see Hebrews to see how Christ brought in the New Covenant. One thing that might help you is to go through the book of Leviticus and mark "clean" and "unclean". Then write down these verses. I studied Leviticus in a bible study called Precept Upon Precept. It was very helpful to me. The inductive bible can be purchased at this site. At the beginning of each book of the bible it gives you questions to ask of the text to help you better understand it. I have used this bible for many years. After doing your own study you can go to commentaries such as those that are free at Preceptaustin.org. May God bless - Val Lev 12:1 Then the LORD spoke to Moses, saying, Lev 12:2 "Speak to the sons of Israel, saying: 'When a woman gives birth and bears a male child, then she shall be unclean for seven days, as in the days of her menstruation she shall be unclean. Lev 12:3 'On the eighth day the flesh of his foreskin shall be circumcised. Lev 12:4 'Then she shall remain in the blood of her purification for thirty-three days; she shall not touch any consecrated thing, nor enter the sanctuary until the days of her purification are completed. Lev 12:5 'But if she bears a female child, then she shall be unclean for two weeks, as in her menstruation; and she shall remain in the blood of her purification for sixty-six days. Lev 12:6 'When the days of her purification are completed, for a son or for a daughter, she shall bring to the priest at the doorway of the tent of meeting a one year old lamb for a burnt offering and a young pigeon or a turtledove for a sin offering. Lev 12:7 'Then he shall offer it before the LORD and make atonement for her, and she shall be cleansed from the flow of her blood. This is the law for her who bears a child, whether a male or a female. Lev 12:8 'But if she cannot afford a lamb, then she shall take two turtledoves or two young pigeons, the one for a burnt offering and the other for a sin offering; and the priest shall make atonement for her, and she will be clean.'" |
