Context of Leviticus 14:29

27With his right finger the priest will sprinkle some of the oil in his left palm seven times before the Lord. 28The priest will also put some of the oil in his palm on the right earlobe of the one to be cleansed, on the thumb of his right hand, and on the big toe of his right foot, on the same place as the blood of the guilt offering. What is left of the oil in the priest’s palm he is to put on the head of the one to be cleansed to make atonement for him before the Lord. 30He is to then sacrifice one type of what he can afford, either the turtledoves or young pigeons, 31one as a sin offering and the other as a burnt offering, sacrificing what he can afford together with the grain offering. In this way the priest will make atonement before the Lord for the one to be cleansed.
