24 y para dar la ofrenda, conforme a lo que está dicho en la ley del Señor: un par de tórtolas, o dos palominos.

Lucas 2:24 Meaning and Commentary

Luke 2:24

And to offer a sacrifice
That is, when the time of purification came, the parents of our Lord brought him from Bethlehem to Jerusalem, to present him in the temple to the Lord as his, and to redeem him; and not only so, but to offer the sacrifice required of child-bed women:

according to that which is said in the law of the Lord,
( Leviticus 12:8 )

a pair of turtle doves, or two young pigeons:
if the person was able, she was to bring a lamb of the first year for a burnt offering; and a young pigeon, or a turtle dove, for a sin offering; but in case of poverty, then the above sufficed, and one of them was for a burnt offering, and the other for a sin offering; which shows not only that the virgin offered for herself a sin offering, being ceremonially unclean, but also her mean estate and poverty, in that she offered the offering of the poorer sort; see ( Leviticus 12:6 Leviticus 12:8 ) .

Lucas 2:24 In-Context

22 Y cuando se cumplieron los días de su purificación, conforme a la ley de Moisés, le trajeron a Jerusalén para presentarle al Señor,

23 (Como está escrito en la ley del Señor: Todo varón que abriere la matriz, será santo al Señor),

24 y para dar la ofrenda, conforme a lo que está dicho en la ley del Señor: un par de tórtolas, o dos palominos.

25 Y he aquí, había un hombre en Jerusalén, llamado Simeón, y este hombre, justo y pío, esperaba la consolación de Israel; y el Espíritu Santo era sobre él.

26 Y había recibido respuesta del Espíritu Santo, que no vería la muerte antes que viese al Cristo del Señor.
