Luke 2 explicitly narrates Jesus' eighth-day circumcision and the family's later purification/presentation, quoting the two-bird option associated with Leviticus 12:8. The quoted bird offering is especially important because Leviticus 12 presents it as the reduced-cost option for a mother who cannot afford a lamb, showing Luke’s family participating in Torah’s purification system.

Leviticus repeatedly scales required offerings according to economic means. Chapter 12 explicitly permits birds when a mother cannot afford a lamb, reinforcing Chapter 5's graduated-access pattern.

Paul's statement that God's Son was born of a woman and born under the law coheres with Luke's depiction of Jesus' family observing Torah birth/purification requirements, but Galatians does not cite Leviticus 12.
