Confession and Restitution

5 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,
6 “Speak to the people of Israel, 1When a man or woman commits any of the sins that people commit by breaking faith with the Lord, and that person realizes his guilt,
7 2he shall confess his sin that he has committed. [a] 3And 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 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 4the ram of atonement with which atonement is made for him.
9 And 5every contribution, all the holy donations of the people of Israel, which they bring to the priest, shall be his.
10 Each one shall keep his holy donations: whatever anyone gives to the priest shall be his. ”

Numbers 5:5-10 Meaning and Commentary

INTRODUCTION TO NUMBERS 5

This chapter contains a repetition of some former laws, concerning putting unclean persons out of the camp, Nu 5:1-4; making restitution in case of trespass against another, Nu 5:5-8; and of giving the offering of all holy things and all hallowed things to the priests, Nu 5:9,10; and a new law concerning jealousy, in a man, of his wife, Nu 5:11-14; when she was to be brought to the priest, and various rites and ceremonies to be used, Nu 5:15-23; who was to give her bitter water as a trial of her chastity, which, if guilty, would have a strange effect upon her, and make her accursed, but if not, would not affect her, and she would be free and happy, Nu 5:24-31.
