Leviticus 14:21-32

21“But if the cleansed leper is poor and his means are insufficient, then he is to take one lamb as a guilt offering to be waved to make atonement for him, and one tenth of an ephah of fine flour mixed with oil as a grain offering, and a log of oil,

22and two turtledoves or two young pigeons, such as he can afford, one shall be a sin offering, the other a burnt offering.

23He shall bring them on the eighth day for his [ceremonial] cleansing to the priest at the doorway of the Tent of Meeting, before the Lord.

24The priest shall take the lamb of the guilt offering, and the log of oil, and shall present them as a wave offering before the Lord.

25Next he shall kill the lamb of the guilt offering; and the priest is to take some of the blood of the guilt offering and put it 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.

26The priest shall pour some of the oil into his left palm,

27and with his right finger the priest shall sprinkle some of the oil that is in his left palm seven times before the Lord.

28The priest shall put some of the oil 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 places where he has put the blood of the guilt offering.

29The rest of the oil that is in the priest’s palm shall be put on the head of the one to be cleansed, to make atonement for him before the Lord.

30Then he shall offer one of the turtledoves or young pigeons, which are within his means.

31He shall offer what he can afford, one as a sin offering and the other as a burnt offering, together with the grain offering. The priest shall make atonement before the Lord on behalf of the one to be cleansed.

32This is the law for the one in whom there is an infection of leprosy, whose means are limited for his [ceremonial] cleansing.”
