Study note
Setting — The text records a divine command delivered through the Mosaic law to the priest, directing the timing and location for a person's ritual cleansing.
The words — לְטָהֳרָתוֹ (le./to.ho.ra.T/o) = for his purification [H2893] and הַשְּׁמִינִי (ha./she.mi.Ni) = the eighth [H8066].
The thread — The eighth-day timing and purification requirement recur in Leviticus 14:10, while the accompanying bird offerings appear in Leviticus 14:22.
Why it lands — The text requires the individual to deliver the prescribed items to the priest at the Tent of Meeting on the eighth day, establishing a fixed chronological and locational boundary for the cleansing procedure.
