Exegetical and Hermeneutical Commentary of Leviticus 12:7
Who shall offer it before the LORD, and make an atonement for her; and she shall be cleansed from the issue of her blood. This [is] the law for her that hath born a male or a female.
For though there was a difference in the time of her uncleanness for the one and for the other, yet both were to be purl fled one and the same way; to note, that though all sins and sinners were not equal, yet all were to be cleansed by the same means, to wit, by Christ, and by faith. See 1Co 7:14; Gal 3:28.

Who shall offer it before the Lord,…. Upon the altar of burnt offering:
and make an atonement for her; for whatsoever sin in connection with or that attended childbearing; as typical of the atonement by Christ both for sin original and actual:
and she shall be cleansed from the issue of her blood; in a ceremonial sense, and according to that law be pure and clean:
this [is] the law for her that hath born a male or a female; enjoined her, and to be observed by her; and though now with the rest of the ceremonial law it is abolished, yet it has this instruction in it; that it becomes women in such circumstances to bring the freewill offerings of their lips, their sacrifices of praise, and in a public manner signify their gratitude and thankfulness for the mercy and goodness of God vouchsafed to them, in carrying them through the whole time of childbearing, and saving them in the perilous hour.

(7) Who shall offer it.Better, and he shall offer it, that is, the priest shall offer the sin offering. Though two sacrifices were broughta burnt offering and a sin offeringyet stress is laid on the sin offering, for on it depended the purification and atonement of the mother. Even if the mother gave birth to twins, the administrators of the law during the second Temple decided that the one sin offering here prescribed sufficed.

Observe, she doth not offer it herself but the priest. JESUS is he alone which can present our most holy things, and in whom alone both our persons and offerings are accepted. Eph 1:6 .
