THE MESSAGE
God spoke to Moses: "Tell the People of Israel, When a man or woman commits any sin, the person has broken trust with God , is guilty, and must confess the sin. Full compensation plus twenty percent must be made to whoever was wronged. If the wronged person has no close relative who can receive the compensation, the compensation belongs to God and must be given to the priest, along with the ram by which atonement is made. All the sacred offerings that the People of Israel bring to a priest belong to the priest. Each person's sacred offerings are his own, but what one gives to the priest stays with the priest."
New American Standard Bible (1995)
Then the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,

Contextual Overview

1 The Lord said to Moses, 2 "Tell the people of Israel to send away from the tents every person with a bad skin disease, every one with a flow that is unclean, and every one who is unclean because of a dead person. 3 Send away both male and female. Send them away from the tents so they will not make the place sinful where I live among them." 4 The people of Israel did so. They sent them away from the tents. The people of Israel did just as the Lord had said to Moses. 5 Then the Lord said to Moses, 6 "Say to the people of Israel, ‘When a man or woman sins the way that man sins by not acting in faith toward the Lord, and that person is guilty, 7 then he must tell about the sins he has done. He must pay in full for his wrong-doing, and add one-fifth part to it, and give it to the one he has sinned against. 8 But if the man has no brother to whom pay for the wrong can be made, then it must go to the Lord for the religious leader. He must also give a ram to pay for his sins. And his sins will be forgiven. 9 Every gift of all the holy things of the Israelites which they bring to the religious leader will become his. 10 So every man's holy gifts will be his. Whatever any man gives to the religious leader will be his.'"

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

The law of restitution: a passage supplementary to Leviticus 5:5, etc., Leviticus 6:5, etc.

Numbers 5:7

Recompense his trespass - i. e. make restitution to the person whom he has injured.

Numbers 5:8

Whereby an atonement shall be made for him - literally, “which shall clear him of guilt as to it,” i. e. as to the trespass.

Numbers 5:10

And every man’s hallowed things shall be his - i. e. the priest’s. The heave offerings Numbers 5:9 and dedicatory offerings (e. g. first-fruits) were to be the perquisite of the officiating priests.
