Numbers Chapter 5
The unclean are removed out of the camp: confession of sins, and
satisfaction: firstfruits and oblations belonging to the priests: trial
of jealousy.
5:1. And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
5:2. Command the children of Israel, that they cast out of the camp
every leper, and whosoever hath an issue of seed, or is defiled by the
dead:
5:3. Whether it be man or woman, cast ye them out of the camp, lest
they defile it when I shall dwell with you,
5:4. And the children of Israel did so, and they cast them forth
without the camp, as the Lord had spoken to Moses.
5:5. And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
5:6. Say to the children of Israel: When a man or woman shall have
committed any of all the sins that men are wont to commit, and by
negligence shall have transgressed the commandment of the Lord, and
offended,
5:7. They shall confess their sin, and restore the principal itself,
and the fifth part over and above, to him against whom they have
sinned.
Shall confess.... This confession and satisfaction, ordained in the Old
Law, was a figure of the sacrament of penance.
