Numbers 5:5-10
English Standard Version
Confession and Restitution
5 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, 6 “Speak to the people of Israel, (A)When a man or woman commits any of the sins that people commit by breaking faith with the Lord, and that person realizes his guilt, 7 (B)he shall confess his sin that he has committed.[a] (C)And he shall make full restitution for his wrong, adding a fifth to it and giving it to him to whom he did the wrong. 8 But if the man 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 (D)the ram of atonement with which atonement is made for him. 9 And (E)every contribution, all the holy donations of the people of Israel, which they bring to the priest, shall be his. 10 Each one shall keep his holy donations: whatever anyone gives to the priest shall be his.”

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.”
