Context of Numbers 5:6
4And the children of Israel did so, and put them out outside the camp: as the LORD spoke to Moses, so did the children of Israel. 5And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying, 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 shall be guilty; 7Then they shall confess their sin which they have done: and he shall recompense his trespass with the principal of it, and add to it the fifth part of it, and give it to him against whom he hath trespassed. 8But if the man shall have no kinsman to recompense the trespass to, let the trespass be recompensed to the LORD, even to the priest; besides the ram of the atonement, by which an atonement shall be made for him.
