21 “If, however, they are poor(A) and cannot afford these,(B) they must take one male lamb as a guilt offering to be waved to make atonement for them, together with a tenth of an ephah[a] of the finest flour mixed with olive oil for a grain offering, a log of oil, 22 and two doves or two young pigeons,(C) such as they can afford, one for a sin offering and the other for a burnt offering.(D)

23 “On the eighth day they must bring them for their cleansing to the priest at the entrance to the tent of meeting,(E) before the Lord.(F) 24 The priest is to take the lamb for the guilt offering,(G) together with the log of oil,(H) and wave them before the Lord as a wave offering.(I) 25 He shall slaughter the lamb for the guilt offering and take some of its blood and put it on the lobe of the right ear of the one to be cleansed, on the thumb of their right hand and on the big toe of their right foot.(J) 26 The priest is to pour some of the oil into the palm of his own left hand,(K) 27 and with his right forefinger sprinkle some of the oil from his palm seven times before the Lord. 28 Some of the oil in his palm he is to put on the same places he put the blood of the guilt offering—on the lobe of the right ear of the one to be cleansed, on the thumb of their right hand and on the big toe of their right foot. 29 The rest of the oil in his palm the priest shall put on the head of the one to be cleansed, to make atonement for them before the Lord.(L) 30 Then he shall sacrifice the doves or the young pigeons, such as the person can afford,(M) 31 one as a sin offering and the other as a burnt offering,(N) together with the grain offering. In this way the priest will make atonement before the Lord on behalf of the one to be cleansed.(O)

32 These are the regulations for anyone who has a defiling skin disease(P) and who cannot afford the regular offerings(Q) for their cleansing.
