Context — Cleansing from Skin Diseases
26Then the priest is to pour some of the oil into his left palm
27and sprinkle with his right forefinger some of the oil in his left palm seven times before the LORD.
28The priest shall also put some of the oil in his palm on the right earlobe of the one to be cleansed, on the thumb of his right hand, and on the big toe of his right foot—on the same places as the blood of the guilt offering.
29The rest of the oil in his palm, the priest is to put on the head of the one to be cleansed, to make atonement for him before the LORD. 30Then he must sacrifice the turtledoves or young pigeons, whichever he can afford,Leviticus 14:28 Summary

And the priest shall put of the oil that [is] in his hand,.... [See comments on Leviticus 14:17].
Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Leviticus 14:28
And if he be poor, and cannot get so much; then he shall take one lamb for a trespass offering to be waved, to make an atonement for him, and one tenth deal of fine flour mingled with oil for a meat
Ellicott's Commentary on Leviticus 14:28
(24-29) And the priest shall take the lamb.—The ritual for the poor man’s sacrifices, however, is the same as that which is prescribed for the rich man. The solemnity and imposing nature of the service is not diminished, as both rich and poor are alike in the presence of the Lord. Hence the directions in Leviticus 14:24-29 in connection with the humbler sacrifices are simply a repetition of those ordained in Leviticus 14:12-18, to be observed in the case of the more costly offerings.
Cambridge Bible on Leviticus 14:28
