10 “On the eighth day(A) they must bring two male lambs and one ewe lamb(B) a year old, each without defect, along with three-tenths of an ephah[a](C) of the finest flour mixed with olive oil for a grain offering,(D) and one log[b] of oil.(E) 11 The priest who pronounces them clean shall present(F) both the one to be cleansed and their offerings before the Lord at the entrance to the tent of meeting.(G)

12 “Then the priest is to take one of the male lambs and offer it as a guilt offering,(H) along with the log of oil; he shall wave them before the Lord as a wave offering.(I) 13 He is to slaughter the lamb in the sanctuary area(J) where the sin offering[c] and the burnt offering are slaughtered. Like the sin offering, the guilt offering belongs to the priest;(K) it is most holy. 14 The priest is to take some of the blood of the guilt offering and put it on the lobe of the right ear of the one to be cleansed, on the thumb of their right hand and on the big toe of their right foot.(L) 15 The priest shall then take some of the log of oil, pour it in the palm of his own left hand,(M) 16 dip his right forefinger into the oil in his palm, and with his finger sprinkle some of it before the Lord seven times.(N) 17 The priest is to put some of the oil remaining in his palm on the lobe of the right ear of the one to be cleansed, on the thumb of their right hand and on the big toe of their right foot, on top of the blood of the guilt offering.(O) 18 The rest of the oil in his palm the priest shall put on the head of the one to be cleansed(P) and make atonement for them before the Lord.

19 “Then the priest is to sacrifice the sin offering and make atonement for the one to be cleansed from their uncleanness.(Q) After that, the priest shall slaughter the burnt offering 20 and offer it on the altar, together with the grain offering, and make atonement for them,(R) and they will be clean.(S)

21 “If, however, they are poor(T) and cannot afford these,(U) they must take one male lamb as a guilt offering to be waved to make atonement for them, together with a tenth of an ephah[d] of the finest flour mixed with olive oil for a grain offering, a log of oil, 22 and two doves or two young pigeons,(V) such as they can afford, one for a sin offering and the other for a burnt offering.(W)

23 “On the eighth day they must bring them for their cleansing to the priest at the entrance to the tent of meeting,(X) before the Lord.(Y) 24 The priest is to take the lamb for the guilt offering,(Z) together with the log of oil,(AA) and wave them before the Lord as a wave offering.(AB) 25 He shall slaughter the lamb for the guilt offering and take some of its blood and put it on the lobe of the right ear of the one to be cleansed, on the thumb of their right hand and on the big toe of their right foot.(AC)

12 And the priest shall take one he lamb, and offer him for a trespass offering, and the log of oil, and wave them for a wave offering before the Lord:

13 And he shall slay the lamb in the place where he shall kill the sin offering and the burnt offering, in the holy place: for as the sin offering is the priest's, so is the trespass offering: it is most holy:

14 And the priest shall take some of the blood of the trespass offering, and the priest shall put it upon the tip of the right ear of him that is to be cleansed, and upon the thumb of his right hand, and upon the great toe of his right foot:

15 And the priest shall take some of the log of oil, and pour it into the palm of his own left hand:

17 And of the rest of the oil that is in his hand shall the priest put upon the tip of the right ear of him that is to be cleansed, and upon the thumb of his right hand, and upon the great toe of his right foot, upon the blood of the trespass offering:

18 And the remnant of the oil that is in the priest's hand he shall pour upon the head of him that is to be cleansed: and the priest shall make an atonement for him before the Lord.

19 And the priest shall offer the sin offering, and make an atonement for him that is to be cleansed from his uncleanness; and afterward he shall kill the burnt offering:

20 And the priest shall offer the burnt offering and the meat offering upon the altar: and the priest shall make an atonement for him, and he shall be clean.

21 And if he be poor, and cannot get so much; then he shall take one lamb for a trespass offering to be waved, to make an atonement for him, and one tenth deal of fine flour mingled with oil for a meat offering, and a log of oil;

22 And two turtledoves, or two young pigeons, such as he is able to get; and the one shall be a sin offering, and the other a burnt offering.

23 And he shall bring them on the eighth day for his cleansing unto the priest, unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, before the Lord.

24 And the priest shall take the lamb of the trespass offering, and the log of oil, and the priest shall wave them for a wave offering before the Lord:

25 And he shall kill the lamb of the trespass offering, and the priest shall take some of the blood of the trespass offering, and put it upon the tip of the right ear of him that is to be cleansed, and upon the thumb of his right hand, and upon the great toe of his right foot:
