Leviticus 5:11
Hebrew Bible
10 The second bird he must make a burnt offering according to the standard regulation. So the priest will make atonement on behalf of this person for his sin which he has committed, and he will be forgiven. 11 “‘If he cannot afford two turtledoves or two young pigeons, he must bring as his offering for his sin which he has committed a tenth of an ephah of choice wheat flour for a sin offering. He must not place olive oil on it, and he must not put frankincense on it, because it is a sin offering. 12 He must bring it to the priest, and the priest must scoop out from it a handful as its memorial portion and offer it up in smoke on the altar on top of the other gifts of the Lord—it is a sin offering.

10 And he shall offer the second for a burnt offering, according to the manner: and the priest shall make an atonement for him for his sin which he hath sinned, and it shall be forgiven him. 11 But if he be not able to bring two turtledoves, or two young pigeons, then he that sinned shall bring for his offering the tenth part of an ephah of fine flour for a sin offering; he shall pour no oil upon it, neither shall he put any frankincense thereon: for it is a sin offering. 12 Then shall he bring it to the priest, and the priest shall take his handful of it, even a memorial thereof, and burn it on the altar, according to the offerings made by fire unto the LORD: it is a sin offering.

Notes and References
"... In Leviticus 5:11, the Samaritan Pentateuch diverges from the Masoretic Text by modifying the verb used for handling the offering. The Masoretic text employs the verb "place" (ישים), while the Samaritan replaces it with "pour" (יצק). This change corresponds with other contexts, such as Numbers 5:15 and Leviticus 14:26, reflecting a harmonizing tendency in the Samaritan Pentateuch to make the action consistent with similar practices elsewhere ..."
