Halakhah sobre Levítico 12:8
וְאִם־לֹ֨א תִמְצָ֣א יָדָהּ֮ דֵּ֣י שֶׂה֒ וְלָקְחָ֣ה שְׁתֵּֽי־תֹרִ֗ים א֤וֹ שְׁנֵי֙ בְּנֵ֣י יוֹנָ֔ה אֶחָ֥ד לְעֹלָ֖ה וְאֶחָ֣ד לְחַטָּ֑את וְכִפֶּ֥ר עָלֶ֛יהָ הַכֹּהֵ֖ן וְטָהֵֽרָה׃ (פ)
Y si no alcanzare su mano lo suficiente para un cordero, tomará entonces dos tórtolas ó dos palominos, uno para holocausto, y otro para expiación: y el sacerdote hará expiación por ella, y será limpia.
Sefer HaChinukh
It is from the roots of the commandment [that it is] in order that she be aroused by action to give thanks to God, blessed be He, who saved her from the pangs of her birth, which is a miraculous thing. And also they, may their memory be blessed, said (Niddah 31b) that a woman rushes to swear at the time of her throes that she will no longer [have sexual relations with] a man. And therefore she requires atonement, and hence her sacrifice is called a sin-offering, and it is stated about her, "and the priest shall atone for her" (Leviticus 12:8).
