Tazria  The name of the twenty-seventh reading from the Torah is Tazria (תזריע), which means “she conceived.” The name is derived from the words of Leviticus 12:2, where the LORD says to Moses, “When a woman [conceives] and bears a male child ...”  Leviticus 12 discusses the laws of purification after childbirth.

The sacrifices after childbirth remind us that the act of giving birth is itself a miraculous encounter with the Divine.   .

After the mother's days of purification were completed, she was readmitted to the Tabernacle and the sacrificial srvice. At that time she was required to bring a burnt offering and a sin offering to the LORD (Leviticus 12:6).
