Exegetical and Hermeneutical Commentary of Leviticus 14:23
And he shall bring them on the eighth day for his cleansing unto the priest, unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, before the LORD.
And he shall bring them on the eighth day, for his cleansing,…. Which supposes him to have gone through all the rites and ceremonies of cleansing throughout the seven days, from his first appearance before the priest; such as his being sprinkled with the cedar wood, hyssop, and scarlet, dipped in the blood of the slain bird, mixed with running water; the shaving off of his hair, and washing his flesh and clothes in water; all which being done, on the eighth day he was to bring his lamb for a trespass offering, and one tenth deal of fine flour, for a meat offering, and two turtledoves or two young pigeons, one for a sin offering and the other for a burnt offering:
unto the priest, unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation before the Lord; where the rich man also and his offerings were presented; [See comments on Le 14:11]; and the same rites are enjoined for the cleansing of the poor leper as the rich one, in Le 14:23, of which see the notes on Le 14:12, signifying that they are not exempt from duty, or abridged of any privilege on account of poverty; the persons and services of the people of God being equally acceptable to him, whether rich or poor.

(23) And he shall bring them on the eighth day.This premises that the poor man is to go through the first stage of purification which is prescribed in Lev. 14:3-6, and which admits him to social life, in exactly the same manner as the rich man, since the things prescribed for this stage are inexpensive.

The same rite was used for all characters; to show that sin hath the same polluting property. And nothing but the applied blood of JESUS CHRIST cleansed from sin. The song in heaven is the same as that on earth; it is to him that was slain, and hath redeemed us unto GOD by his blood. Rev 5:9 .
