he must count off seven days for his cleansing
on Leviticus 15:13-18
The uncleanness outlasts the discharge by seven days, and on the eighth he brings two birds. One is a sin offering and one a burnt offering, the offering Leviticus 5:7 and 12:8 allow one who cannot afford a lamb.
This site's exposition
two turtledoves or two young pigeons
He comes in person to the entrance of the Tent of Meeting, which his uncleanness had kept him from. He hands the birds to the priest himself.
