If the woman cannot afford a lamb, she shall bring two doves or two pigeons, one for a burnt offering and the other for a sin offering, and the priest shall perform the ritual to take away her impurity, and she will be ritually clean.

You shall also bring two doves or two pigeons, one for the sin offering and one for the burnt offering.
