This site's exposition

If, however, the person is poor

on Leviticus 14:21-32

Twelve verses run the whole rite again for a man who cannot afford it, and no step is dropped. Two lambs become two turtledoves or two young pigeons, but poverty never removes the lamb for the guilt offering.

This site's exposition

together with the grain offering

The words in this way gather the guilt, sin, burnt and grain offerings into one act of atonement for the poor man. Jamieson, Fausset and Brown stress that he was as publicly and completely cleansed as a man who brought a costlier offering. John Gill refers back to verse 22.

proposed

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).
