Matthew Poole and continuators on Leviticus 5:7

7 And if he be not able to bring a lamb, then he shall bring for his trespass which he hath committed, two turtle doves, or two young pigeons unto the LORD; one for a sinoffering , and the other for a burnt offering.

Through poverty, as ver. 11. and 25. 26. And this exception was allowed also in other sin-offerings.

Of which see Levit. 1. 14.

Which was for that particular sin, and therefore is offered first before the burnt-offering, which was for sins in general, to teach us not to rest in general confessions and repentances for sin, as Hypocrites commonly do, but distinctly and particularly, as far as we can, to search out and confess and loath and leave our particular sins, without which God will not accept our other religious services. Note that the burntoffering was for the expiation of sin, as well as the sin-offering, Lev. 1. 4. onely that was for sin in general, and this for particular sins.
