Levítico 14:21

21 Mas si fuere pobre, que no alcanzare su mano á tanto, entonces tomará un cordero para ser ofrecido como ofrenda agitada por la culpa, para reconciliarse, y una décima de flor de harina amasada con aceite para presente, y un log de aceite;

Levítico 14:21 Meaning and Commentary

Leviticus 14:21

And if he [be] poor, and cannot get so much
As three lambs, and three tenth deals of fine flour: then he shall take one lamb [for] a trespass offering to be waved, to
make an atonement for him;
one he lamb, and was excused the other he lamb for a burnt offering, and the ewe lamb for a sin offering; but a lamb he must bring, a type of Christ the Lamb of God, for without his blood and sacrifice there is no atonement for rich poor, but for both thereby: and one tenth deal of flour mingled with oil for a meat offering:
instead three tenth deals; this abatement in the several kinds of offerings was a great indulgence to the poor, and an instance of God's goodness to them, that they might not be pressed above measure, and yet share the same benefits and advantages as the rich: and a log of oil;
here was no abatement in this, nor was there need of any; half a pint of oil, in a country which abounded with it, might be bought for a small price: however, the grace of the Spirit, signified by oil, is to be had freely of Christ, and in as large a quantity by a poor man as by a rich man, and is equally necessary to the one as to the other, who are all one in Christ Jesus; see ( Galatians 3:28 ) ( Colossians 3:11 ) .

Levítico 14:21 In-Context

19 Ofrecerá luego el sacerdote el sacrificio por el pecado, y hará expiación por el que se ha de purificar de su inmundicia, y después degollará el holocausto:
20 Y hará subir el sacerdote el holocausto y el presente sobre el altar. Así hará el sacerdote expiación por él, y será limpio.
21 Mas si fuere pobre, que no alcanzare su mano á tanto, entonces tomará un cordero para ser ofrecido como ofrenda agitada por la culpa, para reconciliarse, y una décima de flor de harina amasada con aceite para presente, y un log de aceite;
22 Y dos tórtolas, ó dos palominos, lo que alcanzare su mano: y el uno será para expiación por el pecado, y el otro para holocausto;
23 Las cuales cosas traerá al octavo día de su purificación al sacerdote, á la puerta del tabernáculo del testimonio delante de Jehová.
