Leviticus 12:8

If she cannot afford a sheep, ¹  then she must take two turtledoves or two young pigeons, ²  one for a burnt offering and one for a sin offering, and the priest is to make atonement on her behalf, and she will be clean.’” ³ 

Le 1:14; Le 4:26; Le 5:7; Le 14:22; Le 15:14,29; Lu 2:22,24; 2Co 8:9

¹ tn Heb “If her hand cannot find the sufficiency of a sheep.” Many English versions render this as “lamb.”

³ tn Or “she will be[come] pure.”
