Leviticus 5:7–13

⁷“But ^lif he cannot afford a lamb, then he shall bring to the Lord as his compensation for the sin that he has committed two ^mturtledoves or two pigeons,² one for a sin offering and the other for a burnt offering. ⁸He shall bring them to the priest, who shall offer first the one for the sin offering. He shall ⁿwring its head from its neck ⁿbut shall not sever it completely, ⁹and he shall sprinkle some of the blood of the sin offering on the side of the altar, while ^othe rest of the blood shall be drained out ^pat the base of the altar; it is a sin offering. ¹⁰Then he shall offer the second for a burnt offering according to the rule. ^qAnd the priest shall make atonement for him for the sin that he has committed, and he shall be forgiven.

¹¹“But if he cannot afford two turtledoves or two pigeons, then he shall bring as his offering for the sin that he has committed a ^rtenth of an ephah³ of fine flour for a sin offering. He ^rshall put no oil on it and shall put no frankincense on it, for it is a sin offering. ¹²And he shall bring it to ^sthe priest, and the priest shall take a handful of it as its memorial portion and ^tburn this on the altar, on the Lord’s food offerings; it is a sin offering. ¹³Thus ^qthe priest shall make atonement for him for the sin which he has committed in any one of these things, and he shall be forgiven. And the remainder⁴ shall be for the priest, as in the grain offering.”
