Luk 2:21-24

And when eight days had passed,
before His circumcision,
His name was then called Jesus,
the name given by the angel before He was conceived in the womb.

And when the days for their purification according to the law of Moses were completed, they brought Him up to Jerusalem to present Him to the Lord

(as it is written in the Law of the Lord,
“EVERY firstborn MALE THAT OPENS THE WOMB SHALL BE CALLED HOLY TO THE LORD&rdquo,

and to offer a sacrifice according to what was said in the Law of the Lord,
“A PAIR OF TURTLEDOVES OR TWO YOUNG PIGEONS.”

The Law given by the Lord stated that every male was to be circumcised on the eighth day after birth.
They named Him then.

They did so.

Then, the Law called for “days of purification”.
Purification for the mom/child.
33 days if a boy-child.

Then, the Law called for the firstborn male that opened the womb to be offered to the Lord.
They did so.

They brought an offering.
An offering that revealed they were of modest means.

Mary and Joseph did according to the Word of the Lord.

May we do according to His Word.
