The Eighth Day: A New Birth
Commentators like John Calvin connect the ceremony on the "eighth day" to the concept of a new birth. Just as an infant was circumcised on the eighth day to formally enter the covenant community, the cleansed leper is fully restored on this day. This signifies a complete re-entry into the holy congregation after a period of being considered ritually dead and separated.
