Numbers 5:5-10
New American Standard Bible
5 Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, 6 “Speak to the sons of Israel: ‘(A)When a man or woman commits any of the sins of mankind, acting unfaithfully against the Lord, and that person is guilty, 7 then [a]he shall (B)confess [b]his sin which [c]he has committed, and he (C)shall make restitution in full for his wrong and add to it a fifth of it, and give it to him whom he has wronged. 8 But if the person has no [d]redeemer to whom restitution may be made for the wrong, the restitution which is made for the wrong must go to the Lord for the priest, besides the ram of atonement, by which atonement is made for him. 9 (D)Also every [e]contribution pertaining to all the holy gifts of the sons of Israel, which they offer to the priest, shall be his. 10 So every person’s holy gifts shall be his; whatever anyone gives to the priest, it (E)becomes his.’”

Confession and Restitution
5 The Lord spoke to Moses, saying, 6 “Speak to the Israelites: When a man or a woman wrongs another, breaking faith with the Lord, that person incurs guilt(A) 7 and shall confess the sin that has been committed. The person shall make full restitution for the wrong, adding one-fifth to it and giving it to the one who was wronged.(B) 8 If the injured party has no next of kin to whom restitution may be made for the wrong, the restitution for wrong shall go to the Lord for the priest, in addition to the ram of atonement with which atonement is made for the guilty party.(C) 9 Among all the sacred donations of the Israelites, every gift that they bring to the priest shall be his.(D) 10 The sacred donations of all are their own; whatever anyone gives to the priest shall be his.”(E)

Restitution for Wrongs
5 The Lord said to Moses, 6 “Say to the Israelites: ‘Any man or woman who wrongs another in any way[a] and so is unfaithful(A) to the Lord is guilty(B) 7 and must confess(C) the sin they have committed. They must make full restitution(D) for the wrong they have done, add a fifth of the value to it and give it all to the person they have wronged. 8 But if that person has no close relative to whom restitution can be made for the wrong, the restitution belongs to the Lord and must be given to the priest, along with the ram(E) with which atonement is made for the wrongdoer.(F) 9 All the sacred contributions the Israelites bring to a priest will belong to him.(G) 10 Sacred things belong to their owners, but what they give to the priest will belong to the priest.(H)’”
