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.)
31. He must offer one of these birds as a sin offering and the other bird as a burnt offering. He must offer the birds with the grain offering. In this way the priest will make that person pure before the Lord, and that person will become clean.”
32. These are the rules for making people clean after they become well from a skin disease. These are the rules for those who cannot afford the regular sacrifices for becoming clean.
33. The Lord also said to Moses and Aaron,
34. “I am giving the land of Canaan to your people. Your people will enter that land. At that time I might cause mildew to grow in someone’s house.
35. The person who owns that house must come and tell the priest, ‘I see something like mildew in my house.’
36. “Then the priest must order the people to take everything out of the house before he goes in to look at the mildew. Then the priest will not have to say everything in the house is unclean. After the people have taken everything out of the house, the priest will go in to look at the house.
37. He will look at the mildew. If the mildew on the walls of the house has holes that are a green or red color, and if the mildew goes into the wall’s surface,
38. he must go out of the house and lock the house for seven days.
39. “On the seventh day the priest must come back and check the house. If the mildew has spread on the walls of the house,
40. then he must order the people to tear out the stones with the mildew on them and throw them away. They must put these stones at a special unclean place outside the city.
41. Then the priest must have the entire house scraped inside. The people must throw away the plaster that was scraped off the walls. They must put that plaster at a special unclean place outside the city.
