(I really wish Bible translators had a better term than "unclean". The concept has nothing to do with being dirty. It's more about association with death. I also wish theologians would quit equating atonement with salvation.)
"Blood of purifying" in #leviticus 12:4 uses the Hebrew word for ritually clean (tahor), so the blood removes or covers something that is ritually unclean (tamei). Does the blood of circumcision partly atone for the uncleanness of birth? A woman remains in tamei longer if she has a girl (80 days) than if she has a boy (40 days). Perhaps this isn't because girls are more "unclean" or anything like that, but because the circumcision of the boy allows that period of separation to be shortened. Speculation.
There are two or three blood atonements in Leviticus 12 after the birth of a child, depending on whether it is male or female:
1) Mother's blood
2) Circumcision (male only)
3) Sacrifice
Here is a list of Apostolic/New Testament passages to consider reading for #biblestudy with Parsha #tazria ("She conceives", #leviticus 12-13), plus links to related commentary: https://www.americantorah.com/....2021/01/28/parsha-ta
Psalm 44:20 — 21, “If we had forgotten the name of our God or spread out our hands to a foreign god, would not God have discovered, since He knows the secrets of the heart?” How we pronounce the name of our Creator is not the topic or point for this. Instead, David specifically writes there is a name for our God and even if that name is forgotten, He will see in our heart and know if we are trying to worship Him or something different.
Thought for Today: Sunday April 27
Immigrants from different countries are shown the “welcome mat” … But many times, they may find themselves victims of discrimination, rejection or intolerance. The Bible says that we all are “aliens and strangers in the world” (1 Peter 2:11). Our customs, our goals, our ways and our ways are different. And as followers of our Moshiach, we find ourselves scorned, rejected and even persecuted. If that is the case, we should not be surprised. Yeshua warned us: “If they persecuted Me, they will also persecute you” (John 15:20) But never forget, as believer, you are a citizen of the Kingdom of YHVH. And some day you will be home!
