Leviticus Chapter 12 KJV
King James Version, Holy Bible
1 And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,
2 Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, If a woman have conceived seed, and born a man child: then she shall be unclean seven days; according to the days of the separation for her infirmity shall she be unclean.
3 And in the eighth day the flesh of his foreskin shall be circumcised.
4 And she shall then continue in the blood of her purifying three and thirty days; she shall touch no hallowed thing, nor come into the sanctuary, until the days of her purifying be fulfilled.
5 But if she bear a maid child, then she shall be unclean two weeks, as in her separation: and she shall continue in the blood of her purifying threescore and six days.
6 And when the days of her purifying are fulfilled, for a son, or for a daughter, she shall bring a lamb of the first year for a burnt offering, and a young pigeon, or a turtledove, for a sin offering, unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, unto the priest:
Leviticus Chapter12 (Old Testament)
7 Who shall offer it before the Lord, and make an atonement for her; and she shall be cleansed from the issue of her blood. This is the law for her that hath born a male or a female.
8 And if she be not able to bring a lamb, then she shall bring two turtles, or two young pigeons; the one for the burnt offering, and the other for a sin offering: and the priest shall make an atonement for her, and she shall be clean.
Leviticus Chapter 12
Verse: Leviticus 12:2 - "Say to the Israelites: ‘A woman who becomes pregnant and gives birth to a son will be ceremonially unclean for seven days, just as she is unclean during her monthly period.'"
Lesson: Leviticus Chapter 12 describes the regulations for purification after childbirth. This chapter emphasizes the concept of cleanliness and purity in the eyes of God. The verse above reminds us that even the natural process of childbirth requires a period of purification before one can approach God.
Conclusion: The regulations for purification after childbirth were a reminder to the Israelites of the importance of cleanliness and purity in their daily lives. As Christians, we must also strive for cleanliness and purity in our thoughts, words, and actions. We must recognize that we cannot approach God with impurities in our hearts and minds.
Prayer points: Ask God to reveal areas in your life where you need to seek purification and cleansing. Pray for the strength and discipline to pursue purity and cleanliness in your thoughts, words, and actions. Pray for a deeper understanding of the importance of purity in the eyes of God.
