Numbers 5:1–10

Rules Concerning Those Unclean

5 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying, 2 “Command the ⌊Israelites⌋:a they must send everyone from the camp who is afflicted with a rash,b everyone with a fluid discharge, and everyone unclean through contact with a corpse. 3 You will send away ⌊both male and female⌋;c you will send them ⌊outside the camp⌋.d They must not make unclean their camps where I am dwelling in their midst.” 4 So the ⌊Israelites⌋e did so. They sent them away ⌊outside the camp⌋;f just as Yahweh spoke to Moses, so did the ⌊Israelites⌋.g

Rules of Restitution

5 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying, 6 “Speak to the ⌊Israelites⌋:h ‘When a man or woman ⌊commits⌋i any of the sins of humankind by acting unfaithfully, it is a sin against Yahweh, and that person will be guilty; 7 they will confess their sin that they did and will make restitution for theirj guilt by adding a fifth ⌊to it⌋k and giving it ⌊to whomever was wronged⌋.l 8 But if the man does not have a redeemer to make restitution to him for the reparation, the reparation is to be given to Yahweh for the priest, in addition to the ram of atonement by which atonement is made for him. 9 And every contribution of all the holy objects of the ⌊Israelites⌋m that they bring to the priest for him will be his. 10 The holy objects of a man will be for him;n whatever he gives to the priest will be for him.’ ”
