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.”

Rules of Restitution
5 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying, 6 “Speak to the Israelites:[a] ‘When a man or woman commits[b] any of the sins of humankind by acting unfaithfully, it is a sin against Yahweh, and that person will be guilty; 7 they will confess their sin that they did and will make restitution for their[c] guilt by adding a fifth to it[d] and giving it to whomever was wronged.[e] 8 But if the man does not have a redeemer to make restitution to him for the reparation, the reparation is to be given to Yahweh for the priest, in addition to the ram of atonement by which atonement is made for him. 9 And every contribution of all the holy objects of the Israelites[f] that they bring to the priest for him will be his. 10 The holy objects of a man will be for him;[g] whatever he gives to the priest will be for him.’”
