Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying, “Speak to the children of Israel: ‘When a man or woman commits any sin that men commit, so as to trespass against Yahweh, and that soul is guilty, then he shall confess his sin which he has done; and he shall make restitution for his guilt in full, add to it the fifth part of it, and give it to him in respect of whom he has been guilty. But if the man has no kinsman to whom restitution may be made for the guilt, the restitution for guilt which is made to Yahweh shall be the priest’s, in addition to the ram of the atonement, by which atonement shall be made for him. Every heave offering of all the holy things of the children of Israel, which they present to the priest, shall be his. 10 Every man’s holy things shall be his; whatever any man gives the priest, it shall be his.’”

Confession and Restitution(A)

Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, “Speak to the children of Israel: (B)‘When a man or woman commits any sin that men commit in unfaithfulness against the Lord, and that person is guilty, (C)then he shall confess the sin which he has committed. He shall make restitution for his trespass (D)in full, plus one-fifth of it, and give it to the one he has wronged. But if the man has no [a]relative to whom restitution may be made for the wrong, the restitution for the wrong must go to the Lord for the priest, in addition to (E)the ram of the atonement with which atonement is made for him. Every (F)offering[b] of all the holy things of the children of Israel, which they bring to the priest, shall be (G)his. 10 And every man’s [c]holy things shall be his; whatever any man gives the priest shall be (H)his.’ ”
