New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

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)

Revised Standard Version

Confession and Restitution

5 And the Lord said to Moses, 6 “Say to the people of Israel, When a man or woman commits any of the sins that men commit by breaking faith with the Lord, and that person is guilty, 7 he shall confess his sin which he has committed; 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 kinsman 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 him. 9 And every offering, all the holy things of the people of Israel, which they bring to the priest, shall be his; 10 and every man’s holy things shall be his; whatever any man gives to the priest shall be his.”
