10He will prepare the second bird as a burnt offering according to the regulation. In this way the priest will make atonement on his behalf for the sin he has committed, and he will be forgiven. 11“But if he cannot afford two turtledoves or two young pigeons, he may bring two quarts of fine flour as an offering for his sin.
