“This is the law of him in whom is the plague of leprosy, whose hand is not able to get that which pertaineth to his cleansing.”
These are the regulations for anyone who has a defiling skin disease and who cannot afford the regular offerings for their cleansing. The closing formula for the reduced restoration package confirms the poverty provision's coverage and its relationship to the regular offering: these are the regulations for the person who cannot afford the regular offerings. The covenant system that requires the best of what each person has also provides the minimum necessary for what each person needs. Full restoration from exclusion is available at every economic level of the covenant community.
