Leviticus 14:21 - Jamieson, Fausset, and Brown

Leviticus 14:21

19 “Then the priest shall offer ^athe sin offering, and make atonement for him who is to be cleansed from his uncleanness. Afterward he shall kill the burnt offering.

20 And the priest shall offer the burnt offering and the grain offering on the altar. So the priest shall make atonement for him, and he shall be ^aclean.

21 “But ^aif he is poor and cannot afford it, then he shall take one male lamb as a trespass offering to be waved, to make atonement for him,¹ one-tenth of an ephah of fine flour mixed with oil as a grain offering, a log of oil,

22 ^aand two turtledoves or two young pigeons, such as he is able to afford: one shall be a sin offering and the other a burnt offering.

23 ^aHe shall bring them to the priest on the eighth day for his cleansing, to the door of the tabernacle of meeting, before the Lord.

24 ^aAnd the priest shall take the lamb of the trespass offering and the log of oil, ^band the priest shall wave them as a wave offering before the Lord.

Leviticus 14:21-32

if he be poor, and cannot get so much; then he shall take one lamb—a kind and considerate provision for an extension of the privilege to lepers of the poorer class. The blood of their smaller offering was to be applied in the same process of purification and they were as publicly and completely cleansed as those who brought a costlier offering (Acts 10:34).
