30 And he shall offer the one of the turtledoves, or of the young pigeons, such as he can get;
30 Then he shall sacrifice the doves or the young pigeons, such as the person can afford,
30 And he shall offer, of the turtledoves or pigeons, whichever he can afford,
30 "At the last, he will sacrifice the doves or pigeons which are within his means,
30 And he shall offer one of the turtledoves or young pigeons, such as he can afford--
30 "Then the priest will offer the two turtledoves or the two young pigeons, whichever the person can afford.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Leviticus 14:30
Commentary on Leviticus 14:10-32
(Read Leviticus 14:10-32)
The cleansed leper was to be presented to the Lord, with his offerings. When God has restored us to enjoy public worship again, after sickness, distance, or otherwise, we should testify our thanksgiving by our diligent use of the liberty. And both we and our offerings must be presented before the Lord, by the Priest that made us clean, even our Lord Jesus. Beside the usual rites of the trespass-offering, some of the blood, and some of the oil, was to be put upon him that was to be cleansed. Wherever the blood of Christ is applied for justification, the oil of the Spirit is applied for sanctification; these two cannot be separated. We have here the gracious provision the law made for poor lepers. The poor are as welcome to God's altar as the rich. But though a meaner sacrifice was accepted from the poor, yet the same ceremony was used for the rich; their souls are as precious, and Christ and his gospel are the same to both. Even for the poor one lamb was necessary. No sinner could be saved, had it not been for the Lamb that was slain, and hath redeemed us to God with his blood.
