Also, none of these were "jewish" laws!!!! The word of God was the laws of the HEBREW people, later the laws of Israel.

Interestingly enough, the Hopi Indians likewise recognize a 40-day period for newborns.

Beautifully written, as usual. This explanation of what happened in the days and weeks after the savior's birth is the best I have read.

Thank you for the Jewish specificity on the Mosaic procedure for the Messiah's life with righteous Simeon and Anna(tribe of Asher) as witnesses of this young Jewish Babe born in Micah's Bethlehem(house of bread) to a family from the 'house of David' of which we are to understand Joseph and then 'Yeshua' would have been the 'anointed' kings of Israel if the land had not been subjugated by the Romans. I disagree about the lamb sacrifice as the poverty-stricken Jewish family gave what they could as mother Mary(Jewish Miriam) wondered in awe and we believe would have known through the Gospel writers what was and could be. His Jewish origins were the only possible explanation for His Messiahship as it says in holy writ by the Magi,as they searched for the 'Jewish Messiah' as the only link to the Son of the Highest!

Thank you for this wonderful, inspiring, educational and so much more article. I can certainly see how you were filled with overflowing love and gratitude as you pondered all this wonderful information about our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ as the Baby Jesus and His early times in the Temple. My heart is also filled with overflowing love and gratitude to you for bringing these inspirational words to us to ponder.

In Section 91 of the D & C, the apocrypha are mostly correct, but some writings are not.
