Leviticus 5:5-7

5 ‘And it shall be, when he is guilty in any of these matters, that he shall (A)confess that he has sinned in that thing; 6 and he shall bring his trespass offering to the Lord for his sin which he has committed, a female from the flock, a lamb or a kid of the goats as a sin offering. So the priest shall make atonement for him concerning his sin.
7 (B)‘If he is not able to bring a lamb, then he shall bring to the Lord, for his trespass which he has committed, two (C)turtledoves or two young pigeons: one as a sin offering and the other as a burnt offering.
