Mesorat%20hashas for Megillah 16:5

וכי תימא האי מיבעי ליה מזובו ולא מנגעו א"כ ליכתוב קרא וכי יטהר הזב ולישתוק מזובו למה לי לימד על זב בעל שתי ראיות שטעון ספירת שבעה:

And should you say that this word is required to show that the text refers to one who is cleansed of his issue [only] and not [of his issue and] his leprosy. If so let the verse say, “And when he that has an issue is cleansed” and no more. Why do I have “from his issue”? This teaches that one with an issue who has two observations is required to count seven days.
