Numbers 5:1-10 ▼

1 Then Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,

2 “Command the sons of Israel that they send away from the camp every leper and everyone having a discharge and everyone who is unclean because of a dead person.

3 You shall send away both male and female; you shall send them outside the camp so that they will not defile their camp where I dwell in their midst.”

4 And the sons of Israel did so and sent them outside the camp; just as Yahweh had spoken to Moses, thus the sons of Israel did.

5 Then Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,

6 “Speak to the sons of Israel, ‘When a man or woman commits any of the sins of mankind, acting unfaithfully against Yahweh, and that person is guilty,

7 then he shall confess his sins which he has committed, and he shall make restitution in full for his wrong and add to it one-fifth of it and give it to him whom he has wronged.

8 But if the man has no kinsman redeemer to whom restitution may be made for the wrong, the restitution which is made for the wrong must go to Yahweh for the priest, besides the ram of atonement, by which atonement is made for him.

9 Also every contribution pertaining to all the holy gifts of the sons of Israel, which they bring near to the priest, shall be his.

10 So every man’s holy gifts shall be his; whatever any man gives to the priest, it becomes his.’”
