Nu 5:5: And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
Nu 5:6: Speak unto the children of Israel, When a man or woman shall commit any sin that men commit, to do a trespass against the LORD, and that person be guilty;
Nu 5:7: Then they shall confess their sin which they have done: and he shall recompense his trespass with the principal thereof, and add unto it the fifth part thereof, and give it unto him against whom he hath trespassed.
Nu 5:8: But if the man have no kinsman to recompense the trespass unto, let the trespass be recompensed unto the LORD, even to the priest; beside the ram of the atonement, whereby an atonement shall be made for him.
Nu 5:9: And every offering of all the holy things of the children of Israel, which they bring unto the priest, shall be his.
Nu 5:10: And every man's hallowed things shall be his: whatsoever any man giveth the priest, it shall be his.
