Book ◦ Chapter

and two turtledoves or two young pigeons, whichever he can afford
In the context of Leviticus, the use of turtledoves or young pigeons as offerings highlights God's provision for the poor. These birds were more affordable than larger animals like lambs or bulls, ensuring that even those with limited means could participate in the sacrificial system. This reflects God's inclusivity and compassion, allowing all Israelites to maintain a relationship with Him through atonement. The choice between turtledoves and pigeons also indicates flexibility in the law, accommodating the economic status of the individual. This principle of provision for the poor is echoed in the New Testament, where Mary and Joseph offer two turtledoves at Jesus' presentation in the temple (Luke 2:24), underscoring their humble status.

one to be a sin offering
The sin offering was a crucial part of the sacrificial system, designed to atone for unintentional sins and cleanse the individual from impurity. InLeviticus 14, this offering is part of the purification process for a person healed of a skin disease, symbolizing the removal of sin and restoration to the community. The sin offering points to the need for atonement and foreshadows the ultimate sacrifice of Jesus Christ, who is described as the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world (John 1:29). This offering underscores the seriousness of sin and the necessity of bloodshed for forgiveness, a theme that runs throughout Scripture.

and the other a burnt offering
The burnt offering was a voluntary act of worship, symbolizing the worshiper's total dedication and surrender to God. It was completely consumed by fire, representing the complete devotion and commitment of the individual to the Lord. In the context ofLeviticus 14, the burnt offering follows the sin offering, signifying the worshiper's renewed relationship with God after being cleansed from impurity. This offering also prefigures Christ's complete and perfect sacrifice, as He offered Himself wholly to God on behalf of humanity (Ephesians 5:2). The burnt offering serves as a reminder of the call to live a life fully devoted to God, as seen inRomans 12:1, where believers are urged to present their bodies as living sacrifices.

What Does Leviticus 14:22 Mean

and two turtledoves or two young pigeons

Leviticus 14:22 specifies small birds as acceptable sacrifices for a cleansed leper who could not afford livestock. By allowing either turtledoves or young pigeons, the Lord shows compassionate accommodation for different economic situations (Leviticus 5:7;Leviticus 12:8;Luke 2:24). Both species were readily available in Israel, simple to handle, and already recognized in earlier sacrificial instructions (Leviticus 1:14-17). The choice underscores God’s consistent provision: no one is excluded from worship because of poverty.

whichever he can afford

The phrase highlights God’s sensitivity to personal means. In the larger context (Leviticus 14:21-22), a three-tiered provision exists:

• If the healed leper is wealthy, he brings lambs (14:10-13).

• If moderately resourced, he brings one lamb plus two birds (14:21).

• If poor, he brings only birds (14:22).

This graded scale mirrors the earlier sin-offering options inLeviticus 5:7-13. Scripture affirms that cleansing and fellowship with God are accessible to all, fulfillingDeuteronomy 10:17-18’s declaration that the Lord “shows no partiality.”

one to be a sin offering

The sin offering (Hebrew, ḥaṭṭā’ṯ) dealt with impurity and guilt before God (Leviticus 4:20). For the healed leper, it signified that the spiritual consequences of the disease were fully atoned.1 John 1:7 echoes the same principle: “the blood of Jesus His Son cleanses us from all sin.” The bird’s blood was sprinkled on the altar (Leviticus 5:9), foreshadowing Christ’s shed blood that cleanses believers completely (Hebrews 9:13-14).

and the other a burnt offering

The burnt offering (Hebrew, ʿōlāh) symbolized total consecration; the entire bird was consumed on the altar (Leviticus 1:15-17). After forgiveness, the worshiper devoted himself wholly to God’s service (Romans 12:1). The sequence matters: first sin is addressed, then a life of dedication follows. In the New Testament, this order appears again—justification precedes sanctification (Romans 5:1; 6:13).

summary

Leviticus 14:22 shows God’s gracious provision for the poorest Israelite: two humble birds could secure both forgiveness (sin offering) and renewed devotion (burnt offering). The verse affirms that access to cleansing and fellowship with the Holy One depends on His mercy, not our resources—an eternal truth ultimately fulfilled in the all-sufficient sacrifice of Christ.

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers

(22)Two turtledoves, or two young pigeons--which were plentiful and cheap in Palestine (seeLeviticus 1:14), instead of the two lambs required of those who were able to bring them.
