Leviticus 5:7

And, if his hand cannot reach sufficient for a lamb, then shall he bring in to bear his guilt—for that he hath sinned—two turtle-doves, or two young pigeons unto Yahweh,—one for a sin-bearer, and one for an ascending-sacrifice.

8And he shall take them in unto the priest, who shall bring near that which is for a sin-bearer first,—and shall nip through the neck close to the head but shall not divide it asunder.
