So the Bible is always right, OK? Then tell a fundamentalist Jewish or Christian family to follow that one. Women who give birth to girls are twice dirtier than those who give birth to boys. It was the word of Jeovah, directly to Moses.
Leviticus 12:1-5 Purification After Childbirth
12 The Lord said to Moses, 2 “Say to the Israelites: ‘A woman who becomes pregnant and gives birth to a son will be ceremonially unclean for seven days, just as she is unclean during her monthly period. 3 On the eighth day the boy is to be circumcised. 4 Then the woman must wait thirty-three days to be purified from her bleeding. She must not touch anything sacred or go to the sanctuary until the days of her purification are over. 5 If she gives birth to a daughter, for two weeks the woman will be unclean, as during her period. Then she must wait sixty-six days to be purified from her bleeding.
As I understand it, Christians point to the “new covenant” that was made with God after Jesus as the reason they don’t have to obey Leviticus or indeed any of the Old Testament.
Personally I think that’s just nitpicking, if they could negotiate a new deal with god then, where is he now? What’s so infallible about the bible if you’re going to ignore half of it? Why not have a sensibly written story of the prophet and morals? The whole thing is a mess of ancient history and storytelling.
