Leviticus 14:19-30 Holy Bible: Easy-To-Read Version (ETR)

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

22. and two doves or two young pigeons. Even poor people can afford these things. One bird will be a sin offering, and the other will be a burnt offering.

23. “On the eighth day, that person will bring these things to the priest at the entrance of the Meeting Tent. These things will be offered before the Lord so that the person can become clean.

24. The priest will take the lamb for the guilt offering and the oil, and he will lift them up to show they were offered before the Lord.

25. Then he will kill the lamb of the guilt offering, take some of its blood, and put it 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 this person.

26. He will also pour some of this oil into his own left palm.

27. He will use the finger of his right hand to sprinkle some of the oil that is in his left palm seven times before the Lord.

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

29. 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.

30. “Then the priest must offer one of the doves or young pigeons. (He must offer whichever the person can afford.)
