Leviticus 12:7 - Ellicott's Commentary On The Whole Bible

Bible Comments

Who shall offer it. — Better, and he shall offer it, that is, the priest shall offer the sin offering. Though two sacrifices were brought — a burnt offering and a sin offering — yet stress is laid on the sin offering, for on it depended the purification and atonement of the mother. Even if the mother gave birth to twins, the administrators of the law during the second Temple decided that the one sin offering here prescribed sufficed.

Leviticus 12:7

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.
