Translation commentary on Leviticus 15:28

This verse presents the same basic procedure as for the male in verse 13 above. However, there is no mention here of washing the woman’s clothing or of bathing (see the discussion on verse 13). Here it appears that the mere passage of time is sufficient to ensure ritual cleansing.
