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 (<a href="/luke/2-24.htm">Luke 2:24</a>), underscoring their humble status.<p><b>one to be a sin offering</b><br>The sin offering was a crucial part of the sacrificial system, designed to atone for unintentional sins and cleanse the individual from impurity. In <a href="/leviticus/14.htm">Leviticus 14</a>, 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 (<a href="/john/1-29.htm">John 1:29</a>). This offering underscores the seriousness of sin and the necessity of bloodshed for forgiveness, a theme that runs throughout Scripture.<p><b>and the other a burnt offering</b><br>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 of <a href="/leviticus/14.htm">Leviticus 14</a>, 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 (<a href="/ephesians/5-2.htm">Ephesians 5:2</a>). The burnt offering serves as a reminder of the call to live a life fully devoted to God, as seen in <a href="/romans/12.htm">Romans 12:1</a>, where believers are urged to present their bodies as living sacrifices.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_priest.htm">The Priest</a></b><br>The priest plays a crucial role in the purification process, acting as a mediator between the individual and God.<br><br>2. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_cleansed_person.htm">The Cleansed Person</a></b><br>This refers to the individual who has been healed from a skin disease and is undergoing the purification process.<br><br>3. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_tabernacle.htm">The Tabernacle</a></b><br>The central place of worship where sacrifices and offerings are made.<br><br>4. <b><a href="/topical/t/turtledoves_and_pigeons.htm">Turtledoves and Pigeons</a></b><br>These birds are used as offerings, representing the individual's repentance and dedication to God.<br><br>5. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_sin_offering_and_burnt_offering.htm">The Sin Offering and Burnt Offering</a></b><br>These offerings symbolize atonement for sin and complete surrender to God, respectively.<div class="vheading2">Teaching Points</div><b><a href="/topical/g/god's_provision_for_all.htm">God's Provision for All</a></b><br>The allowance for turtledoves or pigeons shows God's understanding and provision for those of lesser means.
