21“But suppose he is poor. Suppose he can’t afford all of those offerings. Then he must bring one male lamb as a guilt offering. It must be lifted up and waved in front of me to pay for his sin. He must also bring eight cups of fine flour along with the lamb. He must mix the flour with olive oil. It is a grain offering. He must offer it along with five ounces of oil. 22He must also bring two doves or two young pigeons that he can afford. One is for a sin offering. The other is for a burnt offering.

23“On the eighth day he must bring them to the priest so he can be made ‘clean.’ He must bring them to the entrance to the Tent of Meeting. He must do it in my sight.

24“The priest must take the lamb for the guilt offering. He must take it together with the five ounces of oil. He must lift all of it up and wave it in front of me as a wave offering. 25He must kill the lamb for the guilt offering. He must take some of its blood and put it on the person’s right ear lobe. He must put some on the thumb of his right hand. He must also put some on the big toe of his right foot.

26“The priest must pour some of the oil into his own left hand. 27He must dip his right forefinger into the oil that is in his hand. He must use his finger to sprinkle some of it seven times in front of me.

28“He must put some of the oil that is in his hand on the same places he put the blood of the guilt offering. He must put some on the person’s right ear lobe. He must put some on the thumb of his right hand. He must also put some on the big toe of his right foot. 29He must put on his head the rest of the oil that is in his hand. It will pay for the person’s sin in my sight.

30“The priest will sacrifice the doves or the young pigeons that the person can afford. 31One is for a sin offering. The other is for a burnt offering. The priest must offer them together with the grain offering. In that way he will pay for the person’s sin in my sight. He will do it to make him ‘clean.’ ”

32Those are the rules for anyone who has a skin disease. They are for people who can’t afford the regular offerings that are required to make them “clean.”
