Leviticus 14:21-31 Good News Bible (GNB)

21. If he is poor and cannot afford any more, he shall bring for his purification only one male lamb as his repayment offering, a special gift to the Lord for the priest. He shall bring only one kilogramme of flour mixed with olive oil for a grain offering and a third of a litre of olive oil.

22. He shall also bring two doves or two pigeons, one for the sin offering and one for the burnt offering.

23. On the eighth day of his purification he shall bring them to the priest at the entrance of the Tent.

24. The priest shall take the lamb and the olive oil and present them as a special gift to the Lord for the priest.

25. He shall kill the lamb and take some of the blood and put it on the lobe of the person's right ear, on the thumb of his right-hand, and on the big toe of his right foot.

26. The priest shall pour some of the oil into the palm of his own left-hand

27. and with a finger of his right-hand sprinkle some of it seven times there in the Lord's presence.

28. He shall put some of the oil on the same places as he put the blood: on the lobe of the person's right ear, on the thumb of his right-hand, and on the big toe of his right foot.

29. The rest of the oil that is in his palm he shall put on the person's head and in this way perform the ritual of purification.

30. Then he shall offer one of the doves or pigeons

31. as the sin offering and the other as the burnt offering with the grain offering. In this way the priest shall perform the ritual of purification.
