“Even such as he is able to get, the one for a sin offering, and the other for a burnt offering, with the meat offering: and the priest shall make an atonement for him that is to be cleansed before the Lord.”
One as a sin offering and the other as a burnt offering, together with the grain offering. In this way the priest will make atonement before the Lord on behalf of the one to be cleansed. The sin offering bird, the burnt offering bird, and the grain offering together complete the reduced restoration package. The atonement made by the priest on behalf of the person being cleansed is as real in the reduced package as in the full one. The completeness of the atonement does not depend on the cost of the offering materials but on the priestly mediation and the divine acceptance that the ceremony is designed to secure.
