Numbers 5:8

Restitution for Trespasses

7and must confess the sin he has committed. He must make full restitution, add a fifth to its value, and give all this to the one he has wronged.8But if the man has no relative to whom restitution can be made for the wrong, the restitution belongs to the LORD and must be given to the priest along with the ram of atonement, by which the atonement is made for him.
