Numbers 5 — Context

2

Command the children of Israel, that they put out of the camp every leper, and every one that has an issue, and whoever is defiled by the dead:

3

Both male and female shall you put out, without the camp shall you put them; that they defile not their camps, in the middle whereof I dwell.

4

And the children of Israel did so, and put them out without the camp: as the LORD spoke to Moses, so did the children of Israel. ¶

5

And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,

6

Speak to 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;

7

Then they shall confess their sin which they have done: and he shall recompense his trespass with the principal thereof, and add to it the fifth part thereof, and give it to him against whom he has trespassed.

8

But if the man have no kinsman to recompense the trespass to, let the trespass be recompensed to the LORD, even to the priest; beside the ram of the atonement, whereby an atonement shall be made for him.
