Numbers 5:5 In-Context

3 You must send away both male or female; send them outside the camp, so that they will not defile their camps where I dwell among them."

4 The Israelites did this, sending them outside the camp. The Israelites did as the Lord instructed Moses.

7 The person is to confess the sin he has committed. He is to pay full compensation, add a fifth of its value to it, and give [it] to the individual he has wronged.
