Contextual Overview
1 The Lord told Moses and Aaron 2 to say to the community of Israel: Any man with an infected penis is unclean, 3 whether it is stopped up or keeps dripping. 4 Anything that he rests on or sits on is also unclean, 5and if you touch either these or him, you must wash your clothes and take a bath, but you still remain unclean until evening. 8 If you are spit on by the man, you must wash your clothes and take a bath, but you still remain unclean until evening. 9Any saddle or seat on which the man sits is unclean. And if you touch or carry either of these, you must wash your clothes and take a bath, but you still remain unclean until evening. 11 If the man touches you without first washing his hands, you must wash your clothes and take a bath, but you still remain unclean until evening. 12 Any clay pot that he touches must be destroyed, and any wooden bowl that he touches must be washed. 13 Seven days after the man gets well, he will be considered clean, if he washes his clothes and takes a bath in spring water.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
And when he that hath an issue is cleansed of his issue,.... That is, it is ceased from him, as the Targum of Jonathan and Jarchi explain it; for otherwise, according to the ceremonial law, he was not yet cleansed, until he had done everything next prescribed; but when he perceived there was an entire stop put to his disorder:
then he shall number to himself seven days for his cleansing; by which time it would appear whether he was thoroughly rid of it or not; and these seven days, as Jarchi observes, must be seven pure days, quite free from pollution, and continued in a constant course, without interruption; for, as Gersom says, if he saw any impurity in anyone of these days it did not come into the account: nay, according to Maimonides b, he must begin to number again from the day of the last appearance:
and wash his clothes, and bathe his flesh in running water; typical of the fountain opened in Christ to wash in for sin and uncleanness, even the fountain of his blood, which cleanses from all sin; and in which both the persons and garments of the saints are washed and made white:
and shall be clean; in a ceremonial sense; as all that are washed from their sins in the blood of Christ are clean in a spiritual and evangelical sense.
b Hilchot Mechosre Capharah, c. 3. sect. 1.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
The mere cessation of the issue does not make him clean: he must wait seven days, etc., preparatory to his offering sacrifice.
