21 (A)But if he is poor and his [a]means are insufficient, then he is to take one male lamb for a (B)guilt offering as a wave offering to make atonement for him, and a tenth of an [b]ephah of fine flour mixed with oil as a grain offering, and a [c](C)log of oil, 22 and two turtledoves or two young doves, which [d]are within his means. (D)The one shall be a [e](E)sin offering, and the other a burnt offering. 23 (F)Then on the eighth day he shall bring them for his cleansing to the priest, at the doorway of the tent of meeting, before the Lord. 24 The priest shall take the lamb of the guilt offering and (G)the [f]log of oil, and the priest shall offer them as a wave offering before the Lord. 25 Next he shall slaughter the lamb of the guilt offering; and the priest is to take some of the blood of the guilt offering and put it on (H)the lobe of the right ear of the one to be cleansed, and on the thumb of his right hand, and on the big toe of his right foot. 26 The priest shall also pour some of the oil into his left palm; 27 and with his right-hand finger the priest shall sprinkle some of the oil that is in his left palm seven times before the Lord. 28 The priest shall then put some of the oil that is in his palm on the lobe of the right ear of the one to be cleansed, and on the thumb of his right hand, and on the big toe of his right foot, on the place of the blood of the guilt offering. 29 Moreover, the rest of the oil that is in the priest’s palm, he shall put on the head of the one to be cleansed, to make atonement on his behalf before the Lord. 30 He shall then offer one of the turtledoves or young doves, [g]which are within his means. 31 He shall offer what [h]he can afford, (I)the one as a [i]sin offering and the other as a burnt offering, together with the grain offering. So the priest shall make atonement before the Lord on behalf of the one to be cleansed. 32 This is the law for him in whom there is an infection of leprosy, whose [j]means are limited for his cleansing.”
