Numbers 5:1-10

1And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:

2“Command the children of Israel that they put out of the camp every leper, everyone who has a discharge, and whoever becomes defiled by a corpse.

3You shall put out both male and female; you shall put them outside the camp, that they may not defile their camps in the midst of which I dwell.”

4And the children of Israel did so, and put them outside the camp; as the Lord spoke to Moses, so the children of Israel did.

5Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,

6“Speak to the children of Israel: ‘When a man or woman commits any sin that men commit in unfaithfulness against the Lord, and that person is guilty,

7then he shall confess the sin which he has committed. He shall make restitution for his trespass in full, plus one-fifth of it, and give it to the one he has wronged.

8But if the man has no relative to whom restitution may be made for the wrong, the restitution for the wrong must go to the Lord for the priest, in addition to the ram of the atonement with which atonement is made for him.

9Every offering of all the holy things of the children of Israel, which they bring to the priest, shall be his.

10And every man’s holy things shall be his; whatever any man gives the priest shall be his.’ ”
