Leviticus 5:6-10
English Standard Version
6 he shall bring to the Lord as his compensation[a] for the sin that he has committed, a female from the flock, a lamb or a goat, for a sin offering. And the priest shall make atonement for him for his sin.
7 “But (A)if he cannot afford a lamb, then he shall bring to the Lord as his compensation for the sin that he has committed two (B)turtledoves or two pigeons,[b] one for a sin offering and the other for a burnt offering. 8 He shall bring them to the priest, who shall offer first the one for the sin offering. He shall (C)wring its head from its neck (D)but shall not sever it completely, 9 and he shall sprinkle some of the blood of the sin offering on the side of the altar, while (E)the rest of the blood shall be drained out (F)at the base of the altar; it is a sin offering. 10 Then he shall offer the second for a burnt offering according to the rule. (G)And the priest shall make atonement for him for the sin that he has committed, and he shall be forgiven.
