Matthew Henry · 105 of 1242
Leviticus · Chapter 12
Ceremonial purification.
—After the laws concerning clean and unclean food, come the laws concerning clean and unclean persons. Man imparts his nature to his offspring, so that, excepting as the of Christ and the of the Spirit prevent, the original blessing, “Increase and multiply,” Ge 1:28, is become to the fallen race a direful curse, and communicates sin and misery. Let those women who have received mercy from God in child-bearing, with all thankfulness own God's goodness to them; and this shall please the Lord better than sacrifices.
