Restitution for Sin Then the LORD spoke to Moses:

“Tell the Israelites,‘When a man or a woman commits any sin that people commit, thereby breaking faith with the LORD, and that person is found guilty,

then he must confess his sin that he has committed and must make full reparation, add one fifth to it, and give it to whomever he wronged.
