Musar su Levitico 14:21
וְאִם־דַּ֣ל ה֗וּא וְאֵ֣ין יָדוֹ֮ מַשֶּׂגֶת֒ וְ֠לָקַח כֶּ֣בֶשׂ אֶחָ֥ד אָשָׁ֛ם לִתְנוּפָ֖ה לְכַפֵּ֣ר עָלָ֑יו וְעִשָּׂר֨וֹן סֹ֜לֶת אֶחָ֨ד בָּל֥וּל בַּשֶּׁ֛מֶן לְמִנְחָ֖ה וְלֹ֥ג שָֽׁמֶן׃
E se è povero e i suoi mezzi non bastano, allora prenderà un agnello per agitare un'offerta di colpa, per espiare per lui, e una decima parte di un'efa di farina raffinata mescolata con olio per un offerta di pasti e un tronco d'olio;
Kav HaYashar
It is related in the Zohar (Parashas Vayikra 9a): A wealthy man once brought two young pigeons, a poor man’s sacrifice, to a Kohein to offer them up. But the Kohein said to him, “This sacrifice is not fitting for you,” whereupon the man returned home sullenly. “Why are you so sullen?” his brothers inquired? “Because the Kohein would not offer up my sacrifice of two pigeons,” he explained. “He acted properly,” they told him, “for that is the sacrifice of a poor man, as it is written, ‘And if he is too poor, etc.’ (Vayikra 14:21). Instead you must offer up an ox.” The man thought to himself, “If the Torah requires a person to sacrifice an ox to atone for the mere thought of sin, how much more is required for an actual sin! I vow that I will never again entertain thoughts of sin!” So how did he conduct himself from then on? All day long he engaged in business, then at night he would sleep a little bit and call over his brothers to study Torah with him. They began to refer to him as “Yehudah the new man.”
