Today's Reading Leviticus 12

Leviticus 12 deals with the purpose and cermonial requiements of the purification after childbirth. Birth and and conception is not an act of sin. God remind usn that we were conceived inners (Psalm 51.5, 58.3).
Notice that for the birth of a female child the mother must takes twice as long before she goes through purification. Does it means that a female child is twice as unclean as a male child? Of course not. God is showing compassion on the mother to care for a girl in a masculine dominated soceity that prefer boys than girls. A dusband back then would prefer to have a boy than a girl.
Finally, God allows even the poorest mpther to come to Him. If she cannot afford a lamb for a burnt offering, a young pigeon or dove would do as well. This is act of grace from God! He remembers the poor and their ability to financially to obtain a burnt offering. Mary and Joseph went through this purification process (Luke 2.22-24).
