On the eighth day
The phrase "on the eighth day" signifies a period of completion and new beginnings in biblical numerology. The number eight often represents a new order or creation, as seen in the resurrection of Jesus, which occurred on the first day of the week, the day after the Sabbath, symbolically the eighth day. In the context of Leviticus, this day marks the end of a purification process, allowing the individual to re-enter the community and worship life of Israel.

she must take
The requirement that "she must take" emphasizes personal responsibility and active participation in the purification process. This action underscores the importance of individual accountability in maintaining holiness and purity before God. It reflects the broader biblical principle that while God provides the means for purification, individuals must respond in obedience.

two turtledoves or two young pigeons
The offering of "two turtledoves or two young pigeons" highlights God's provision for all economic classes within Israel. These birds were more affordable than larger animals, ensuring that even the poor could fulfill the requirements of the law. This provision reflects God's justice and mercy, ensuring that all His people could maintain a right relationship with Him, regardless of their financial status.

and bring them to the priest
The act of bringing the offerings "to the priest" signifies the mediatory role of the priesthood in the Old Testament. Priests acted as intermediaries between God and the people, facilitating the process of atonement and purification. This foreshadows the ultimate High Priest, Jesus Christ, who mediates the new covenant and provides direct access to God for believers.

at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting
The "entrance to the Tent of Meeting" was a sacred space where God met with His people. It was a place of divine encounter and revelation. Bringing offerings to this location underscores the importance of approaching God with reverence and the understanding that purification and atonement are necessary to enter His presence. This reflects the broader biblical theme of holiness and the need for cleansing before approaching a holy God.

(29) She shall take unto her . . . --On the eighth day she is to bring the same sacrifices which are prescribed for the man who is cured of an issue (see Leviticus 15:14), only that in the latter case the man had to be bathed in living water, because he brought the illness upon himself.
