Context of Leviticus 14:29

27With his right finger he will sprinkle some of the oil seven times in the Lord’s presence. 28The priest will put some of the oil that is in his hand on the right ear lobe, on the right thumb, and on the big toe of the right foot of the one to be cleansed. These are the same places he had put the blood of the guilt offering. In the Lord’s presence, the priest will pour the rest of the oil in his hand on the head of the one to be cleansed in order to make a payment for him. 30Then the one to be cleansed must take one of the mourning doves or pigeons (whichever he can afford), 31and sacrifice it as an offering for sin. He will take the other and sacrifice it as a burnt offering together with the grain offering. So in the Lord’s presence the priest will make peace with the Lord for the one who is being cleansed.
