19. The priest will then perform the purification offering and make reconciliation for the person needing purification from their uncleanness. After that, the entirely burned offering will be slaughtered.
20. The priest will offer up the entirely burned offering and the grain offering on the altar. In this way, the priest will make reconciliation for the person, and they will be clean again.
21. Now if the person is poor and cannot afford these things, they can bring one male sheep as a compensation offering, to be lifted up in order to make reconciliation for them; a grain offering of one-tenth of an ephah of choice flour mixed with oil; a log of oil;
22. and two turtledoves or two pigeons, whatever they can afford—one as a purification offering and the other as an entirely burned offering.
23. On the eighth day, they must bring these items for their purification to the priest at the meeting tent’s entrance before the Lord.
24. The priest will take the male sheep for the compensation offering and the log of oil, and will lift them as an uplifted offering before the Lord.
25. The priest will slaughter the sheep for the compensation offering and will take some of its blood and put it on the right earlobe, the right thumb, and the right big toe of the person needing purification.
26. The priest will pour some of the oil into his left palm.
27. Next, the priest will sprinkle some of the oil seven times before the Lord using his right finger.
28. The priest will then put some of the oil that is in his hand on the right earlobe, the right thumb, and the right big toe of the person needing purification—on top of the same places as the blood of the compensation offering.
29. The priest will put whatever is left of the oil in his hand on the head of the person needing purification, to make reconciliation for them before the Lord.
30. The person will then offer one of the turtledoves or pigeons, whatever they can afford—
31. one as a purification offering and the other as an entirely burned offering along with the grain offering. In this way, the priest will make reconciliation before the Lord for the person needing purification.
32. This is the Instruction concerning those who have an infection of skin disease but who cannot afford the normal means of purification.
33. The Lord said to Moses and Aaron:
34. When you enter the land of Canaan, which I am giving to you as a possession, and I put an infection of skin disease on a house in the land you possess,
35. the homeowner must come and tell the priest, "I think some sort of infection is in my house."
36. The priest will order that the house be emptied before he comes to examine it so that nothing else in the house will become unclean. After that, the priest will come to examine the house.
37. If he examines the infection, and the infection in the walls of the house consists of greenish or reddish depressions, which appear to be deeper than the surface of the wall,
38. the priest will exit the house, go to the front door, and quarantine the house for seven days.
