Then he shall sacrifice the doves or the young pigeons, such as the person can afford. The birds are sacrificed — the sin offering and burnt offering of the reduced package. The any as the person can afford language communicates the flexibility of the poverty provision: the birds are whatever the person can bring, not a specific minimum quality beyond being birds. The birds are sacrificed using the bird sacrifice procedures of Leviticus 1:14–17 and 5:8–10.
