Do any of you know why it is according to Lev 12:1-5 a woman would be
considered "unclean" for double the amount of time if she gave birth to a
daughter as opposed to a son? If she bears a son, the mother is unclean for
a week, to be continued for another 33 days, if a daughter she is "unclean"
for two weeks, to be continued for another 66 days. Any thoughts on why this
is the case? Many thanks.
