The Lord said to Moses. The purification regulations after childbirth are given as a divine speech to Moses — the same authority that grounds all the Levitical regulations. The regulations address the ritual dimension of childbirth without making any negative judgment about childbirth itself: children are a blessing (Psalm 127:3), and the regulations are not a punishment but a recognition that childbirth involves blood and bodily process that, within the Levitical system, require a structured period of purification before full access to the sanctuary is restored.
