purification after giving birth

[allstate1]

In this context of scripture the purification period and the offering had to be done before a woman could have sex again. Its not something we would normally practice today. However I believe its still a Jewish tradition. Making an issue out of these would be like asking all the males in your church if they are circumcised or not. Then to try to relate it to women not being submissive is kinda far fetched.

The scripture here says nothing about the time before she could have sex. It talks about her being unclean in regards to the amount of time that must pass before she can come again to the tabernacle of God. Other scriptures deal specifically about the guidelines to intercourse around the times of their menstruation, but this scripture doesn't mention it.

It is very unusual for a woman to continue in her blood for 80 days after having children. I have a son and a daughter and my wife recovered quicker with our daughter than she did our son. I think what you have heard is just old wives tails.

And I believe you are wrong. No disrespect intended. But why would she be considered ''unclean''?? Like I said the time frame is more complicated than just a menstrual cycle. Let me ask you this how long after each child was your wife's next cycle?? Was it longer after as son or after a daughter?? I bet you don't know.

That is an interesting point... that the time of separation is not necessarily from s*x but from being able to go to the tabernacle and worship.
