“And the priest that maketh him clean shall present the man that is to be made clean, and those things, before the Lord, at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation:”
The officiating priest shall present both the person being cleansed and their offerings before the Lord at the entrance to the tent of meeting. The entrance to the tent of meeting is the site of the final restoration ceremony: the person who was excluded from the camp, who came back into the camp but stayed outside their tent, is now presented before the Lord at the sanctuary's entrance. The movement from outside the camp to the camp's perimeter to the sanctuary's threshold is the full journey of restoration. The person who was as far from the holy as possible is now at the boundary of the most holy place.
