Leviticus 15:29 Meaning and Commentary

Leviticus 15:29

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: and bring them unto the priest, to the door of the tabernacle of the
congregation;
whither the man that had an issue brought his; (See Gill on Leviticus 15:14).
