Contextual Overview

1 And Yahweh spake unto Moses and unto Aaron saying: 2 Speak unto the sons of Israel, and ye shall say unto them, - When, any man whatsoever, hath a flowing from his flesh, his flux, is, unclean. 3 And, this shall be his uncleanness in his flux, - whether his flesh is running with his flux or his flesh hath closed from his flux, his uncleanness, it is. 4 All the bed whereon he that hath the flux lieth, shall be unclean, - and, every piece of furniture whereon he sitteth, shall be unclean. 5 And whosoever toucheth his bed shall wash his clothes and bathe in water and be unclean until the evening. 6 And, he that sitteth on that whereon he that hath the flux hath sat, shall wash his clothes, and bathe in water, and be unclean until the evening. 7 And, he that toucheth the flesh of him that hath the flux, shall wash his clothes and bathe in water and be unclean until the evening, 8 And, when he that hath a flux spitteth on him that is clean, then shall he wash his clothes and bathe in water and be unclean until the evening. 9 And, every saddle whereon he that hath the flux rideth, shall be unclean. 10 And, whosoever toucheth anything that was under him shall be unclean until the evening; and, he that carrieth them shall wash his clothes and bathe in water, and be unclean until the evening.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And on the eighth day,.... Having on the seventh done as before directed:

he shall take to him two turtledoves, or two young pigeons; of his own, or purchase them; this was the meanest offering that was brought, and of the least expense, and which, in other cases, the poorer sort were allowed to bring, but here it was the offering of poor and rich:

and come before the Lord unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation; not into the tabernacle, where he was not admitted till the sacrifice was offered, and atonement made; but he was to stand at the door of the tabernacle, at the eastern gate; and so fronting the west, where stood the holy of holies, the place of the divine Majesty, he is said to come before the Lord, presenting himself to him to be cleansed:

and give them unto the priest; the two doves or pigeons, to be offered for him according to the usual rites.
