Leviticus 14:30

“He will then make one of the turtledoves ¹  or young pigeons, which are within his means, ² 

Le 12:8; Le 14:22; Le 15:14,15; Lu 2:24; Ro 8:3

¹ tn Heb “the one from the turtledoves.”

² tc Heb “from which his hand reaches.” The repetition of virtually the same expression at the beginning of v. 31 in the MT is probably due to dittography (cf. the LXX and Syriac). However, the MT may be retained if it is understood as “one of the turtledoves or young pigeons that are within his means – whichever he can afford” (see J. Milgrom’s translation in Leviticus [AB], 1:828, contra his commentary, 862; cf. REB).
