Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

וְ⁠אִם־לֹ֨א תִמְצָ֣א יָדָ⁠הּ֮ דֵּ֣י שֶׂה֒

and=if not have hand_of,her (Some words not found in UHB: and=if not have hand_of,her sufficient_of sheep and,she_will_take two(fd) turtledoves or two_of sons_of pigeons one(ms) to,a_burnt_offering and,one to,a_sin_offering and,he_will_make_atonement on/upon=it(f) the=priest/officer and,she_will_be_pure )

This expression is an idiom that refers to being unable to afford to offer an animal from one’s own flock animal or that was purchased. If your language uses a similar idiom, consider using it here. Otherwise, if it would be helpful in your language, consider stating the meaning plainly. See how you translated the similar expressions in [5:7](../05/07.md) and [5:11](../05/11.md). Alternate translation: [But if she cannot afford to offer her own flock animal or to purchase someone else’s]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

וְ⁠כִפֶּ֥ר עָלֶ֛י⁠הָ הַ⁠כֹּהֵ֖ן

(Some words not found in UHB: and=if not have hand_of,her sufficient_of sheep and,she_will_take two(fd) turtledoves or two_of sons_of pigeons one(ms) to,a_burnt_offering and,one to,a_sin_offering and,he_will_make_atonement on/upon=it(f) the=priest/officer and,she_will_be_pure )

See how you translated the abstract noun atonement in [1:4](../01/04.md). However, in your translation, make it clear that the woman does not need atonement because of any sin on her part. Here, the sacrifices performed by the priest provide for the removal of impurity from the women—in this case, impurity acquired by the presence of blood discharging from the woman’s body, not by any sin. It may be helpful to clarify this for your readers in a footnote or in the text of your translation.
