Numbers
The offender had to confess the sin and make full restitution, adding one-fifth to it. If the wronged person had no close relative to receive repayment, it went to the LORD for the priest, besides the ram of atonement. See Numbers 5:5–10.
5Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
6Speak to the children of Israel, When a man or woman shall commit any sin that men commit, so as to trespass against Yahweh, and that soul shall be guilty;
7then he shall confess his sin which he has done: and he shall make restitution for his guilt in full, and add to it the fifth part of it, and give it to him in respect of whom he has been guilty.
8But if the man have 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; besides the ram of the atonement, whereby atonement shall be made for him.
9Every heave-offering of all the holy things of the children of Israel, which they present to the priest, shall be his.
10Every man`s holy things shall be his: whatever any man gives the priest, it shall be his.
