16
And the Priest shall dip his right finger in the oil that is in his left hand and shall sprinkle of the oil with his finger seven times before YHVH;
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 they that is to be cleansed, and upon the thumb of their right hand, and upon the great toe of their right foot, upon the blood of the trespass offering;
18

20
And the Priest shall offer the burnt offering and the meat offering upon the altar; and the Priest shall make an atonement for them, and they shall be clean.
21
¶ And if they be poor and cannot get so much, then they shall take one lamb for a trespass offering to be waved, to make an atonementa for them, and one tenth part 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 they are able to get; and the one shall be a sin offeringa and the other an offeringb.
23
And they shall bring them on the eighth day for their cleansing unto the Priest, unto the door of the Tabernacle of the Congregation, before YHVH.
24
And the Priest shall take the lamb of the trespass offeringa and the log of oil, and the Priest shall wave them for a wave offering before YHVH;
25
And the Priest shall kill the lamb of the trespass offering;
26

29
And the Priest shall put of the oil that is in his hand upon the tip of the right ear of they that are to be cleansed, and upon the thumb of their right hand, and upon the great toe of their right foot, upon the place of the blood of the trespass offering;
30
And the rest of the oil that is in the hand of the Priest, he shall put upon the head of they that are to be cleansed, to make an atonement for them before YHVH.
31
And the Priest shall offer the one of the turtledovesa or of the young pigeonsa, such as they can get,
32

33
And the Priest shall make an atonement for all that are to be cleansed before YHVH.
