At the Door, Not Yet Inside

Commentators explain that the person was presented 'at the door' of the tabernacle, not yet fully inside the court. This was because the final sacrifice for atonement had not yet been offered. This physical positioning shows that restoration is a process; the person is accepted but full re-entry into the community requires the completion of the atoning ritual.
