Confession and Restitution^(A)

⁵ Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, ⁶ “Speak to the children of Israel: ^(B)‘When a man or woman commits any sin that men commit in unfaithfulness against the Lord, and that person is guilty, ^7 (C)then he shall confess the sin which he has committed. He shall make restitution for his trespass ^(D)in full, plus one-fifth of it, and give it to the one he has wronged. ⁸ But if the man has no ^[a]relative to whom restitution may be made for the wrong, the restitution for the wrong must go to the Lord for the priest, in addition to ^(E)the ram of the atonement with which atonement is made for him. ⁹ Every ^(F)offering^[b] of all the holy things of the children of Israel, which they bring to the priest, shall be ^(G)his. ¹⁰ And every man’s ^[c]holy things shall be his; whatever any man gives the priest shall be ^(H)his.’ ”

⁹ “For any kind of trespass, whether it concerns an ox, a donkey, a sheep, or clothing, or for any kind of lost thing which another claims to be his, the ^(A)cause of both parties shall come before the judges; and whomever the judges condemn shall pay double to his neighbor.

⁷ “If a man ^(A)delivers to his neighbor money or articles to keep, and it is stolen out of the man’s house, ^(B)if the thief is found, he shall pay double. ⁸ If the thief is not found, then the master of the house shall be brought to the ^(C)judges to see whether he has put his hand into his neighbor’s goods.

¹⁰ If a man delivers to his neighbor a donkey, an ox, a sheep, or any animal to keep, and it dies, is hurt, or driven away, no one seeing it, ¹¹ then an ^(A)oath of the Lord shall be between them both, that he has not put his hand into his neighbor’s goods; and the owner of it shall accept that, and he shall not make it good. ¹² But ^(B)if, in fact, it is stolen from him, he shall make restitution to the owner of it. ¹³ If it is ^(C)torn to pieces by a beast, then he shall bring it as evidence, and he shall not make good what was torn.
