Matthew Poole and continuators on Leviticus 12:4

4 And she shall then continue in the blood of her purifying three and thirty dayes: she shall touch no hallowed thing , nor come into the sanctuary, until the dayes of her purifying be fulfilled.

Heb. sit, i. e. abide, as that word is oft used, as Gen. 22. 5. and 34. 10. or tarry at home, not go into the Sanctuary,

In her polluted and separated estate: for the word blood or bloods signifies both guilt, as Gen. 4. 10. and uncleanness, as here and elsewhere. See Ezek. 16. 6. And it is called the blood of her purifying, because by the expulsion or purgation of that blood, which is done by degrees, she is purified.

She shall not eat any part of the peace-offerings which she or her husband offered, which otherwise she might have done: and, if she be a Priests wife, she shall not eat any of the [illegible: 1+ letters]ithes or firstfruits, or part of the hallowed meats, which at other times she together with her husband might eat.
