21. “But anyone who is too poor and cannot afford these offerings may bring one male lamb for a guilt offering, to be lifted up as a special offering for purification. The person must also bring two quarts of choice flour moistened with olive oil for the grain offering and a cup of olive oil.
22. The offering must also include two turtledoves or two young pigeons, whichever the person can afford. One of the pair must be used for the sin offering and the other for a burnt offering.
23. On the eighth day of the purification ceremony, the person being purified must bring the offerings to the priest in the lord’s presence at the entrance of the Tabernacle.
24. The priest will take the lamb for the guilt offering, along with the olive oil, and lift them up as a special offering to the lord.
25. Then the priest will slaughter the lamb for the guilt offering. He will take some of its blood and apply it to the lobe of the right ear, the thumb of the right hand, and the big toe of the right foot of the person being purified.
26. “The priest will also pour some of the olive oil into the palm of his own left hand.
27. He will dip his right finger into the oil in his palm and sprinkle some of it seven times before the lord.
28. The priest will then apply some of the oil in his palm over the blood from the guilt offering that is on the lobe of the right ear, the thumb of the right hand, and the big toe of the right foot of the person being purified.
29. The priest will apply the oil remaining in his hand to the head of the person being purified. Through this process, the priest will purify the person before the lord.
30. “Then the priest will offer the two turtledoves or the two young pigeons, whichever the person can afford.
31. One of them is for a sin offering and the other for a burnt offering, to be presented along with the grain offering. Through this process, the priest will purify the person before the lord.
32. These are the instructions for purification for those who have recovered from a serious skin disease but who cannot afford to bring the offerings normally required for the ceremony of purification.”
