Leviticus 14:12-21 Holy Bible: Easy-To-Read Version (ETR)

12. The priest will take one of the lambs and the oil as a guilt offering. He will lift them in front of the Lord to show they were presented to God.

13. Then the priest will kill the male lamb in the holy place where they kill the sin offering and the burnt offering. Like the sin offering, the guilt offering belongs to the priest. It is very holy.

14. “The priest will take some of the blood of the guilt offering. He will put some of this blood on the tip of the right ear of the person to be made clean. The priest will put some of this blood on the thumb of the right hand and on the big toe of the right foot of that person.

15. The priest will also take some of the oil and pour it into his own left palm.

16. Then the priest will dip the finger of his right hand into the oil that is in his left palm. He will use his finger to sprinkle some of the oil seven times before the Lord.

17. Then he will put some of the oil that is in his palm on the person to be made clean. He will put that oil on the same places he put the blood of the guilt offering. The priest will put some of the oil on the tip of the person’s right ear, on the thumb of the right hand, and on the big toe of the person’s right foot.

18. He will put the oil that is left in his palm on the head of the person to be made clean. In this way he will make that person pure before the Lord.

19. “Then the priest must offer the sin offering to make that person pure. After that he will kill the animal for the burnt offering.

20. He will then offer up the burnt offering and the grain offering on the altar. In this way the priest will make that person pure, and that person will become clean.

21. “A poor person might not be able to afford all these offerings. So that poor person can use one male lamb as a guilt offering. It will be presented to God so that the priest can make that person pure. The poor person must take 8 cups of fine flour mixed with oil. This flour will be used for a grain offering. The poor person must also take 2/3 of a pint of olive oil
