Ordinance of Purification
The ordinance which is required after the birth of a firstborn son.
The Ordinance of Purification: When the days for their purification according to the law of Moses were completed. Luke 2:22.
This ceremony of purification was given by God to the Jews as a part of the Mosaic Law. It is found in Leviticus 12:1-4.
Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, "Speak to the sons of Israel, saying, When a woman gives birth and bears a male child, then she shall be unclean for seven days, as in the days of her menstruation she shall be unclean.
"And on the eighth day the flesh of his foreskin shall be circumcised.
"Then she shall remain in the blood of her purification for thirty-three days; she shall not touch any consecrated thing, nor enter the sanctuary, until the days of her purification are completed." Leviticus 12:1-4.
According to the Mosaic Law, the mother of a new born child was considered unclean.
In the case of a birth of a son, the mother was banned from performing any religious duties for a period of 41 days, eight days prior to the circumcision plus thirty-three days following the circumcision.
Yahshua is born in Bethlehem.
Eight days later Yahshua is circumcised.
Forty days later Yahshua is brought to the temple and presented to Yahwah.
After forty days the Wise Men come to give gifts to Yahshua; afterward Joseph and his family flee to Egypt, but later they return to Nazareth when it is safe.
