Morning Light - Leviticus 12

[Today: Leviticus 12] Is Original Sin Eve's Fault? In Leviticus 12, the laws concerning clean and unclean things continue in this chapter specific to women's issues. God instructs Moses that a woman giving birth is ceremonially unclean for a certain number of days. After giving birth, a cleansing sacrifice is required after completing a number of days sequestered from the temple and the company of others. There is much contention about the godliness of the fairer sex because Eve ate of the tree before Adam. Is original sin Eve's fault? Was Adam an innocent victim? This short chapter will teach us something about the concept of original sin and the coming of the promised seed that would crush the serpent's head.
