[The Kohen] takes from the log-container of oil and pours some oil into the palm of his fellow [Kohen]. If he pours it into his own palm, it is valid. [Then] he dips [his finger in the oil] and sprinkles seven times toward the Holy of Holies, each sprinkling requiring a dipping. [Then the Kohen] comes to the metzora. He applies the oil to the same parts of the body of the metzora that he applied the blood, as stated: ‘‘on the place of the blood of the guilt-offering.’’ ‘‘And he shall place the remainder of the oil [that is in the palm of the Kohen] on the head of the one becoming tahor as an atonement.’’ — If [the Kohen] places [the oil on the metzora’s head, the metzora’s] atonement is complete; if [the Kohen] does not place it, [the metzora’s] atonement is not complete; [these are] the words of R’ Akiva. R’ Yochanan ben Nuri says: They are remnants of the mitzvah; whether or not he places it, [the metzora’s] atonement is complete, but it is considered as if his atonement is not complete. [If] part of the log was missing before [the Kohen] poured it [into the left hand], he may replenish it; [if] after he poured it [into the left hand], he should bring a new [log-container of oil]; these are the words of R’ Akiva. R’ Shimon says: [If part of] the log was missing before he sprinkled [the oil], he should replenish it; [if] after he sprinkled [the oil], he should bring a new one.

[If] a metzora brought his offering when [he was] poor and he became wealthy, or [he brought it] when wealthy and he became poor, everything follows the sin-offering, [these are] the words of R’ Shimon. R’ Yehudah says: [Everything] follows the guilt-offering.
