Context of Leviticus 15:28
26As long as she has a discharge, any bed she lies on or anything she sits on is unclean. It is like her period. 27Those who touch these things are unclean and must wash their clothes and their bodies. They will be unclean until evening. “When her discharge stops, she must wait seven days. After that, she will be clean. 29On the eighth day she must take two mourning doves or two pigeons and bring them to the priest at the entrance to the tent of meeting. 30The priest will offer one as an offering for sin and the other as a burnt offering. So in the Lord’s presence the priest will make peace with the Lord for the woman who had an unclean discharge.

This ceremonial defilement had to be removed by an appointed method of ceremonial expiation, and the neglect of it subjected any one to the guilt of defiling the tabernacle, and to death as the penalty of profane temerity.Read the comment
