Bible Question:
The headings in my bible prior to Luke 2:21 say they went to Jerusalem. Was it the process to go to Jerusalem, the Temple, to a priest, or the father to perform circumcision? Later they went to Jerusalem for Mary. But for the circumcision? |
Bible Answer: Hello dnbborch Scripture doesn't say where it is to be performed or by whom (Gen 17:9-14; Lev 12:3). Abraham did it for Ishmael (Gen 17:23). Evidently, Joseph and Mary went to the temple for this occasion. They would have gone back to Jerusalem later to offer sacrifices for the completion of her impurity (Lev 12:4-8). Steve |
