Leviticus 15:13

“And when he that hath an issue is cleansed of his issue, etc.] That is, it is ceased from him, as the Targum of Jonathan and Jarchi explain it; for otherwise, according to the ceremonial law, he was not yet cleansed, until he had done everything next prescribed; but when he perceived there was an entire stop put to his disorder: then he shall number to himself seven days for his cleansing; by which time it would appear whether he was thoroughly rid of it or not; and these seven days, as Jarchi observes, must be seven pure days, quite free from pollution, and continued in a constant course, without interruption; for, as Gersom says, if he saw any impurity in anyone of these days it did not…”

“then he shall number to himself seven days for his cleansing--Like a leprous person he underwent a week's probation, to make sure he was completely healed. Then with the sacrifices prescribed, the priest made an atonement for him, that is, offered the oblations necessary for the removal of his ceremonial defilement, as well as the typical pardon of his sins.”

“The mere cessation of the issue does not make him clean: he must wait seven days, etc., preparatory to his offering sacrifice. return to 'Top of Page'”

“When he is cleansed - When his issue hath wholly ceased. Leviticus 15:15”

“15:13-15 In contrast to the man with a skin disease (see 13:46), a man with a bodily discharge was apparently allowed to live at home. He did not have to undergo the more elaborate cleansing ritual described in ch 14. He simply had to wait seven days after the discharge ceased, wash (15:13), and present the least expensive animal sacrifice of two birds—one as a sin offering and the other as a whole burnt offering.”

“seven days: Lev 15:28, Lev 8:33, Lev 9:1, Lev 14:8, Lev 14:10; Exo 29:35, Exo 29:37; Num 12:14, Num 19:11, Num 19:12 wash: Lev 15:5, Lev 15:10, Lev 15:11; Jer 33:8; Eze 36:25-29; Co2 7:1; Jam 4:8; Rev 1:5 Leviticus 15:14”

“When he was cleansed, i.e., recovered from his issue, he was to wait seven days with regard to his purification, and then wash his clothes and bathe his body in fresh water, and be clean. On the eighth day he was to bring two turtle-doves or young pigeons, in order that the priest might prepare one as a sin-offering and the other as a burnt-offering, and make an atonement for him before the Lord for his issue. Leviticus 15:16”
