And on the eighth day,.... From the cessation of her issue, and the healing of it, at least from the time she began to number for her cleansing:
she shall take unto her two turtles, or two young pigeons; the same as the man that had an issue was obliged to bring. Now this is to be understood not of a woman that had an ordinary issue, or her monthly courses; for this would have been both troublesome and expensive to have brought every month, but of a woman that had laboured under an extraordinary one; though some think every menstruous woman was obliged to this offering:

(28) But if she be cleansed.—That is, cured or healed of her infirmity. The expression “cleansed” is used both here and in Lev_15:13 for the disappearance of the complaint. From the time of its cessation she is to count seven days, during which no trace of the complaint must be observable, just as in the case of the less innocent disorder. (See Lev_15:13.)
After that she shall be clean.—That is, after having performed the rites of lustration.
