Leviticus 14:21-32

21If, howeverH518, the person is poorH1800 and cannotH369 afford theseH3027H5381 offerings, he is to takeH3947 oneH259 male lambH3532 as a guilt offeringH817 to be wavedH8573 to make atonementH3722 for himH5921, along with a tenthH6241 of an ephah of fine flourH5560H2591 mixedH1101 with olive oilH8081 for a grain offeringH4503, a logH3849 of olive oilH8081, 22and twoH8147 turtledovesH8449 orH176 twoH8147 youngH1121 pigeonsH3123, whicheverH834 he can affordH5381H3027, oneH259 to beH1961 a sin offeringH2403 and the otherH259 a burnt offeringH5930.

23On the eighthH8066 dayH3117 he is to bringH935 themH853 for his cleansingH2893 toH413 the priestH3548 atH413 the entranceH6607 to the TentH168 of MeetingH4150 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068. 24The priestH3548 shall takeH3947 the lambH3532 for the guilt offeringH817, along withH853 the logH3849 of olive oilH8081, and waveH5130 themH853H3548 as a wave offeringH8573 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068.

25And after he slaughtersH7819 the lambH3532 for the guilt offeringH817, the priestH3548 is to takeH3947 some of the bloodH1818 of the guilt offeringH817 and putH5414 it onH5921 the rightH3233 earlobeH8571H241 of the one to be cleansedH2891, onH5921 the thumbH931 of his rightH3233 handH3027, and onH5921 the big toeH931 of his rightH3233 footH7272. 26Then the priestH3548 is to pourH3332 some ofH4480 the oilH8081 intoH5921 hisH3548 leftH8042 palmH3709 27and sprinkleH5137 with his rightH3233 forefingerH676 some ofH4480 the oilH8081 inH5921 his leftH8042 palmH3709 sevenH7651 timesH6471 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068. 28The priestH3548 shall also putH5414 some ofH4480 the oilH8081 inH5921 his palmH3709 onH5921 the rightH3233 earlobeH8571H241 of the one to be cleansedH2891, onH5921 the thumbH931 of his rightH3233 handH3027, and onH5921 the big toeH931 of his rightH3233 footH7272—onH5921 the same placesH4725 as the bloodH1818 of the guilt offeringH817.

29The restH3498 ofH4480 the oilH8081 in hisH5921 palmH3709, the priestH3548 is to putH5414 onH5921 the headH7218 of the one to be cleansedH2891, to make atonementH3722 for himH5921 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068. 30Then he must sacrificeH6213 the turtledovesH8449 orH176H4480 youngH1121 pigeonsH3123, whicheverH834 he can affordH5381H3027, 31oneH259 as a sin offeringH2403 and the otherH259 as a burnt offeringH5930,2 together withH5921 the grain offeringH4503. In this way the priestH3548 will make atonementH3722 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068 forH5921 the one to be cleansedH2891.

32ThisH2063 is the lawH8451 for someone who hasH834H5061 a skin diseaseH6883 and cannotH3808 affordH5381H3027 the cost of his cleansingH2893.”
