Infinite Wisdom

The LORD said to Moses, “Give the following instructions to the people of Israel. If a woman becomes pregnant and gives birth to a son, she will be ceremonially unclean for seven days, just as she is unclean during her menstrual period. On the eighth day the boy’s foreskin must be circumcised. After waiting thirty-three days, she will be purified from the bleeding of childbirth. During this time of purification, she must not touch anything that is set apart as holy. And she must not enter the sanctuary until her time of purification is over. If a woman gives birth to a daughter, she will be ceremonially unclean for two weeks, just as she is unclean during her menstrual period. After waiting sixty-six days, she will be purified from the bleeding of childbirth. [Leviticus 12.1-5]

Today, for the first time ever - perhaps because current events have prepared the atmosphere for it - I have seen from the passage of Scripture that God clearly recognizes a child's sex from birth. This distinction is displayed unapologetically in the mother's "purification time" following birth.

Is it possible that God, in His infinite wisdom utilized a ritual, long before society would recognize it, that would declare God's distinction between genders (if not but only for the sake of establishing identity)?

Father, thank You that Your Word is more up-to-date than any of us could have imagined!
