Leviticus 14:22 Meaning and Commentary

Leviticus 14:22

And two turtledoves, or two young pigeons, such as he is able
to get
As good as he can get for his money, or his money he is possessed of will purchase; but if he was not able to purchase these of the better sort, the best he could get would be acceptable; so indulgent, kind, and merciful was God to the poor in this case; these were instead of the other two lambs required of those that were able to bring them, and answered all the purposes of them: and the one shall be a sin offering, and the other a burnt offering:
one of the turtledoves or one of the young pigeons should be for the one, and the other for the other; so that the poor man had as many offerings for his atonement and cleansing as the rich, and his expiation and purgation were as complete as theirs.

20 and he will offer the burnt offering and grain offering on the altar. In this way he will make that person clean so he can belong to the Lord again.
21 "But if the person is poor and unable to afford these offerings, he must take one male lamb for a penalty offering. It will be presented to the Lord to make him clean so he can belong to the Lord again. The person must also take two quarts of fine flour mixed with oil for a grain offering. He must also take two-thirds of a pint of olive oil
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.

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.
