Leviticus 12:4 - Joseph Benson’s Commentary on the Old and New Testaments

Bible Comments

In the blood of her purifying In her polluted and separated estate; for the word blood, or bloods, signifies both guilt and uncleanness, as here and elsewhere. And it is called the blood of her purifying, because by the expulsion or purgation of that blood, which is done by degrees, she is purified. No hallowed thing She shall not eat any part of the peace- offerings which she or her husband offered, which otherwise she might have done; and, if she be a priest's wife, she shall not eat any of the tithes or first-fruits, or part of the hallowed meats, which at other times she, together with her husband, might eat.

Leviticus 12:4

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.
