LEVITICUS 12

LAWS FOR PURIFICATION + SACRIFICE AFTER CHILDBIRTH  

God gives Moses instructions to share with the Israelites regarding cleanliness and childbirth. 

After a child is born, a sacrifice is to be made. Similar to Leviticus 1, there is an option for the people who cannot afford a lamb. We see later on that Mary and Joseph brought birds instead of a lamb as a sacrifice for the birth of Christ in Luke 2:24.
