22. and two doves or two young pigeons, which he can afford. One bird is for a sin offering and the other for a whole burnt offering.
23. On the eighth day the person will bring them for his cleansing to the priest at the entrance of the Meeting Tent, before the Lord.
24. The priest will take the lamb for the penalty offering and the oil, and he will present them as an offering before the Lord.
25. Then he will kill the lamb of the penalty offering, take some of its blood, and put it on the bottom of the right ear of the person to be made clean. The priest will put some of this blood on the thumb of the person’s right hand and some on the big toe of the person’s right foot.
26. He will also pour some of the oil into his own left hand.
27. Then with a finger of his right hand, he will sprinkle some of the oil from his left hand seven times before the Lord.
28. The priest will take some of the oil from his hand and put it on the bottom of the right ear of the person to be made clean. He will also put some of it on the thumb of the person’s right hand and some on the big toe of the person’s right foot. The oil will go on these places on top of the blood from the penalty offering.
29. The priest must put the rest of the oil that is in his hand on the head of the person to be made clean, to make him clean so he can belong to the Lord again.
30. Then the priest will offer one of the doves or young pigeons, which the person can afford.
31. He must offer one of the birds for a sin offering and the other for a whole burnt offering, along with the grain offering. In this way the priest will make the person clean so he can belong to the Lord again; he will become clean.
32. “These are the teachings for making a person clean after he has had a skin disease, if he 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. When they enter that land, if I cause mildew to grow in someone’s house in that land,
35. the owner of that house must come and tell the priest. He should say, ‘I have seen something like mildew in my house.’
