On the eighth day he is to bring
on Leviticus 14:10-13
The eighth day brings four offerings for one man, guilt, sin, burnt and grain. The guilt offering leads, though elsewhere it answers a wrong needing restitution at 5:15-16, and the fault recorded here is an illness.
This site's exposition
it is most holy
The healed man's guilt offering follows the ordinary rule. It is slaughtered where the sin and burnt offerings are slaughtered and given to the priest as most holy. His offering ranks with every other.

proposed
And this was considered to make atonement "for him"; that is, it removed that ceremonial pollution which had excluded him from the enjoyment of religious ordinances, just as the atonement of Christ restores all who are cleansed through faith in His sacrifice to the privileges of the children of God.
How the passage was read
What the Jewish commentators add
On the verses either side of this one
תנוך is the inner wall of the ear. The etymology of the word תנוך is unknown to me, and the compilers of glossaries call it (translate it by) tendron (cf. Rashi on Exodus:22).
This section is reception history: how the passage was read and kept in the Jewish tradition. Where a reading parts from an essential of the Christian faith, the section says so at that point.
