The lamb represents the payment for our sin, and the olive oil represents the Holy Spirit's work in our lives (1 Samuel 16:13). As we surrender to God and allow Him to work in us, we can experience His cleansing and restoration in our lives (1 John 1:7-9).]

Gill's Exposition on Leviticus 14:24
And the priest shall take the lamb of the trespass offering,.... [See comments on Leviticus 14:12].
Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Leviticus 14:24
And if he be poor, and cannot get so much; then he shall take one lamb for a trespass offering to be waved, to make an atonement for him, and one tenth deal of fine flour mingled with oil for a meat
Ellicott's Commentary on Leviticus 14:24
(24-29) And the priest shall take the lamb.—The ritual for the poor man’s sacrifices, however, is the same as that which is prescribed for the rich man. The solemnity and imposing nature of the service is not diminished, as both rich and poor are alike in the presence of the Lord. Hence the directions in Leviticus 14:24-29 in connection with the humbler sacrifices are simply a repetition of those ordained in Leviticus 14:12-18, to be observed in the case of the more costly offerings.
Cambridge Bible on Leviticus 14:24
21–32. The poor man’s offerings. The Sin-Offering and Burnt-Offering are modified; birds may be brought as in Leviticus 1:14, Leviticus 5:7, and the amount of the Meal-Offering is reduced, but the Guilt-Offering remains the same; a further indication that this sacrifice is the most important feature of the rite.
