Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Leviticus 12:2

_ _ If a woman, etc. — The mother of a boy was ceremonially unclean for a week, at the end of which the child was circumcised (Genesis 17:12; Romans 4:11-13); the mother of a girl for two weeks (Leviticus 12:5) — a stigma on the sex (1 Timothy 2:14, 1 Timothy 2:15) for sin, which was removed by Christ; everyone who came near her during that time contracted a similar defilement. After these periods, visitors might approach her though she was still excluded from the public ordinances of religion [Leviticus 12:4].

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Leviticus 12:1-5.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Leviticus 12:2

Seven days — Not for any filthiness which was either in the conception, or in bringing forth, but to signify the universal and deep pollution of man's nature, even from the birth, and from the conception. Seven days or thereabouts, nature is employed in the purgation of most women. Her infirmity — Her monthly infirmity. And it may note an agreement therewith not only in the time, Leviticus 15:19, but in the degree of uncleanness.

Geneva Bible Translation Notes

Leviticus 12:2

Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, If a woman have conceived seed, and born a man child: then she shall be unclean (a) seven days; according to the days of the separation for her infirmity shall she be unclean.

(a) So that her husband for that time could not have relations with her.
