Numbers 5:5-10
Christian Standard Bible
Compensation for Wrongdoing
5 The Lord spoke to Moses: 6 “Tell the Israelites: When a man or woman commits any sin against another, that person acts unfaithfully toward the Lord(A) and is guilty.(B) 7 The person is to confess(C) the sin he has committed. He is to pay full compensation, add a fifth of its value to it, and give it to the individual he has wronged.(D) 8 But if that individual has no relative(E) to receive compensation, the compensation goes to the Lord for the priest, along with the atonement ram by which the priest will make atonement for the guilty person.(F) 9 Every holy contribution the Israelites present to the priest will be his.(G) 10 Each one’s holy contribution is his to give; what each one gives to the priest will be his.”

Numbers 5:5-10
New Living Translation
5 Then the Lord said to Moses, 6 “Give the following instructions to the people of Israel: If any of the people—men or women—betray the Lord by doing wrong to another person, they are guilty. 7 They must confess their sin and make full restitution for what they have done, adding an additional 20 percent and returning it to the person who was wronged. 8 But if the person who was wronged is dead, and there are no near relatives to whom restitution can be made, the payment belongs to the Lord and must be given to the priest. Those who are guilty must also bring a ram as a sacrifice, and they will be purified and made right with the Lord.[a] 9 All the sacred offerings that the Israelites bring to a priest will belong to him. 10 Each priest may keep all the sacred donations that he receives.”
