Contextual Overview
1 And the Lord spake vnto Moses, saying, 2 Speake vnto the children of Israel, and say, When a woman hath brought forth seede, & borne a manchilde, shee shalbe vncleane seuen dayes, like as she is vncleane when she is put apart for her disease. 3 (And in the eight day, the foreskin of the childes flesh shalbe circumcised) 4 And she shal continue in the blood of her purifying three and thirtie dayes: she shal touch no halowed thing, nor come into the Sanctuarie, vntil the time of her purifying be out. 5 But if she beare a mayde childe, then shee shalbe vncleane two weekes, as when shee hath her disease: and she shal continue in the blood of her purifying three score and sixe dayes.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
And in the eighth day the flesh of his foreskin shall be circumcised. Or the foreskin of his flesh, that is, of the man child born according to the law, Genesis 17:12 and this seems to furnish out a reason why a male child was not circumcised before the eighth day, and why it was then, because before that its mother was in her separation and uncleanness, and then was freed from it; and so the Targum of Jonathan. The circumcision of a male child on the eighth day was religiously observed, and even was not omitted on account of the sabbath, when the eighth day happened to be on that,
Genesis 17:12- : Genesis 17:12- :. It is an observation of Aben Ezra on this place, that the wise men say "in the day", and not in the night, lo, he that is born half an hour before the setting of the sun is circumcised after six days and a half, for the day of the law is not from time to time.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
On circumcision, see Genesis 17:5 note.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Leviticus 12:3. And in the eighth day — Before this time the child could scarcely be considered as having strength sufficient to bear the operation; after this time it was not necessary to delay it, as the child was not considered to be in covenant with God, and consequently not under the especial protection of the Divine providence and grace, till this rite had been performed. On circumcision Genesis 17:10; Genesis 17:10. Circumcision was to every man a constant, evident sign of the covenant into which he had entered with God, and of the moral obligations under which he was thereby laid. It was also a means of purity, and was especially necessary among a people naturally incontinent, and in a climate not peculiarly favourable to chastity. This is a light in which this subject should ever be viewed, and in which we see the reasonableness, propriety, expediency, and moral tendency of the ceremony.
