Numbers 5:8

Context
NETBible

But if the individual has no close relative 1  to whom reparation can be made for the wrong, the reparation for the wrong must be paid to the Lord 2  for the priest, in addition to the ram of atonement by which atonement is made for him.

NET © Notes

sn For more information on the word, see A. R. Johnson, “The Primary Meaning of גאל,” VTSup 1 (1953): 67-77.

tc The editors of BHS prefer to follow the Greek, Syriac, and Latin and not read “for the Lord” here, but read a form of the verb “to be” instead. But the text makes more sense as it stands: The payment is to be made to the Lord for the benefit of the priests.
