“And on the eighth day he shall take to him two turtledoves, or two young pigeons, and come before the Lord unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, and give them unto the priest:”
On the eighth day he must take two doves or two young pigeons and come before the Lord to the entrance to the tent of meeting and give them to the priest. The eighth day — the new beginning day — brings the two-bird offering for the restored man: the same two doves or young pigeons as the poverty provision for the sin and burnt offerings throughout the Levitical system. The two-bird offering for the discharge restoration is more accessible than the full restoration offering for the skin disease (which required lambs): the discharge impurity's restoration ceremony is proportional to the discharge impurity's severity.
