Numbers 5:6-8

The Voice

Eternal One (to Moses): ⁶ Tell the Israelites that sinning against each other is just like abandoning Me. All incur guilt, men and women alike. ⁷ He or she must confess, then pay back in kind (if the crime is robbery, or some material offense) what he or she has cost to the wronged person and add one-fifth more. ⁸ If there are no people in the wronged party’s immediate family to receive the payback, then it should go^[a] to the priest along with a ram, which the guilty party shall supply as an atonement sacrifice.
