1Then the LORD said to Moses, 2“Say to the Israelites, ‘A woman who becomes pregnant and gives birth to a son will be unclean for seven days, as she is during the days of her menstruation. 3And on the eighth day the flesh of the boy’s foreskin is to be circumcised.
4The woman shall continue in purification from her bleeding for thirty-three days. She must not touch anything sacred or go into the sanctuary until the days of her purification are complete.
“Because life is in the blood (Leviticus 17:11), the loss of blood required some purification to acknowledge the sanctity of life.” (Rooker)
“Circumcision was to every man a constant, evident sign of the covenant into which he had entered with God, and of the moral obligations under which he was thereby laid.” (Clarke)
The Lord gave the laws of purification and Moses who wrote them down.
Father knows best!
Blessings, David
