Leviticus 14:21-32 - The Eighth Day Atonement Rituals For The Poor Person

21 "If the offeror is poor and cannot afford the regular offering, then he is to take one lamb for a guilt offering that will be presented in the form of a wave offering to atone for him, one tenth of a measure of fine flour mixed with olive oil for a grain offering, one log of olive oil, 22 and two turtledoves or two young pigeons, whichever he can afford. One is for a sin offering and the other is for a whole burnt offering. 23 "On the eighth day, he is to bring them for cleansing to the priest in the LORD's presence at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting. 24 The priest is to take the lamb for a guilt offering and the olive oil and wave them as a raised offering in the LORD's presence. 25 Then he is to take the lamb for the guilt offering and place some blood from the guilt offering on the right earlobe of the person to be cleansed, on his right thumb, and on his right great toe. 26 Then the priest is to pour olive oil into his left palm 27 and use his right finger to sprinkle oil from his left palm seven times in the LORD's presence. 28 The priest is to place oil from his palm on the right earlobe of the person being cleansed, on his right thumb, on his right great toe, and where the blood for the guilt offering is poured. 29 "As to the remainder of the oil in his palm, the priest is to use it to anoint the head of the person to be cleansed, in order to make atonement for him in the LORD's presence. 30 Then he is to offer one of the turtledoves orthe young pigeons, whichever he can afford. 31 Based on what he can afford, one is for a sin offering and the other is for a whole burnt offering. Along with the grain offering, the priest is to make atonement for the person to be cleansed in the LORD's presence. 32 This is the regulation concerning one who has an infectious skin disease but who cannot afford his cleansing."
