This is the chapter where the system admits that people are poor. The guilt offering is a lamb — or, if you cannot manage a lamb, two turtledoves or two pigeons; or, if you cannot manage the birds, a tenth of an ephah of flour, about two litres, with no oil and no frankincense on it. The Hebrew idiom for the condition is physical: if his hand does not reach. And the outcome is stated in the same words at every tier — the priest makes atonement, and it shall be forgiven him. The rest of the chapter turns to cases where something of value was taken, and there the sacrifice comes second: repay what you took, add twenty percent, and then bring the ram.
