Exegetical and Hermeneutical Commentary of Leviticus 15:28
But if she be cleansed of her issue, then she shall number to herself seven days, and after that she shall be clean.
Seven days from the stopping of her issue, as it is apparent. And this was for trial whether it was only a temporary obstruction, or a real cessation.

But if she be cleansed of her issue,…. The disease is healed, or a stop is put to it; there are no signs of it remaining:
then she shall number to herself seven days; from the time she observed it to cease:
and after that she shall be clean; having bathed herself according to the usual manner of unclean persons, for their cleansing; when she would be fit to be admitted to her husband, though not as yet into the tabernacle, until she had offered her offering next directed to.

After the issue had ceased, she was to purify herself like the man with an issue, as described in Lev 15:13-15. – Obedience to these commands is urged in Lev 15:31: “Cause that the children of Israel free themselves from their uncleanness, that they die not through their uncleanness, by defiling My dwelling in the midst of them.” , Hiphil, to cause that a person keeps aloof from anything, or loosens himself from it, from , Niphal to separate one’s self, signifies here deliverance from the state of uncleanness, purification from it. Continuance in it was followed by death, not merely in the particular instance in which an unclean man ventured to enter the sanctuary, but as a general fact, because uncleanness as irreconcilable with the calling of Israel to be a holy nation, in the midst of which Jehovah the Holy One had His dwelling-place (Lev 11:44), and continuance in uncleanness without the prescribed purification was a disregard of the holiness of Jehovah, and involved rebellion against Him and His ordinances of grace.

Verses 28-30:
When the woman was fully free from any discharge, she marked off a period of seven days. At the end of this time, she brought two turtledoves, or two young pigeons, to the priest who officiated at the “door” of the tabernacle. One bird was for a Sin Offering, the other for a Burnt Offering. When these offerings were completed, she was ceremonially cleansed and purified.

(28) But if she be cleansed.That is, cured or healed of her infirmity. The expression cleansed is used both here and in Lev. 15:13 for the disappearance of the complaint. From the time of its cessation she is to count seven days, during which no trace of the complaint must be observable, just as in the case of the less innocent disorder. (See Lev. 15:13.)
After that she shall be clean.That is, after having performed the rites of lustration.
