6. to say to the community of Israel:If any of you commit a crime against someone, you have sinned against me.

7. You must confess your guilt and pay the victim in full for whatever damage has been done, plus a fine of twenty per cent.

8. If the victim has no relative who can accept this money, it belongs to me and will be paid to the priest. In addition to that payment, you must take a ram for the priest to sacrifice so your sin will be forgiven.

9-10. When you make a donation to the sacred tent, that money belongs only to the priest, and each priest will keep what is given to him.

11. The Lord told Moses

12-14. to say to the people of Israel:Suppose a man becomes jealous and suspects that his wife has been unfaithful, but he has no proof.
