ExplanationCommentary
Verse 6. Lamb, to thank God for her happy delivery.—Sin, or uncleanness, which was esteemed a legal offence. Perhaps this sacrifice was also designed to expiate the sins she might have fallen into, ( Menochius.) since she was last able to offer one; and likewise the original sin of her female offspring. That of males was effaced by circumcision. Bible.
