1. Leviticus 15:14–15 (ESV)
  2. Exposition

What is the reason for the offerings that the healed man must make on the eighth day?

Leviticus 15:14–15 (ESV)

14 And on the eighth day he shall take two turtledoves or two pigeons and come before the LORD to the entrance of the tent of meeting and give them to the priest.

On the eighth day, the man must present himself to the priest in the sanctuary. Through the mediation of a priest, the man must offer one bird for a sin offering of purification. Then he sacrifices one bird as a burnt offering which serves to restore the man to the worship of the tabernacle and to God.
