John Gill Bible Commentary

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.
