11But if his means are not sufficient for two turtledoves or two young pigeons, then he shall bring as his offering for the sin that he has committed a tenth of an ephah of fine flour for a sin offering. He shall put no oil on it and place no frankincense on it, because it is a sin offering.

12Then he shall bring it to the priest, and the priest shall take from it a handful as its memorial portion and burn it on the altar, in addition to the food offerings of Yahweh. It is a sin offering.

13Thus the priest shall make atonement for him for his sin that he committed in any one of these matters, and he shall be forgiven. And it shall belong to the priest, like the grain offering.
