if he be poor, and cannot get
on Leviticus 14:21-32
Twelve verses run the whole rite again for a man who cannot afford it, and no step of the ceremony is dropped. Two of the three lambs become two turtledoves or two young pigeons and the flour falls from three tenth deals to one, while the log of oil, the waving, the seven sprinklings and the blood on ear, thumb and toe stand exactly as before. The animal that poverty never removes is the lamb of the trespass offering. Matthew Henry notes that the same ceremony was used for the poor as for the rich.

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 (Ac 10:34).
