Contextual Overview
1 Then the LORD spoke to Moses, saying, 2 "Command the sons of Israel that they send away from the camp everyone with leprosy, everyone having a discharge, and everyone who is unclean because of contact with a dead person. 3 "You shall send away both male and female; you shall send them outside the camp so that they do not defile their camp where I dwell in their midst." 4 And the sons of Israel did so and sent them outside the camp; just as the LORD had spoken to Moses, that is what the sons of Israel did. 5 Then the LORD spoke to Moses, saying, 6 "Speak to the sons of Israel: 'When a man or woman commits any of the sins of mankind, acting unfaithfully against the LORD, and that person is guilty, 7 then he shall confess his sin which he has committed, and he shall make restitution in full for his wrong and add to it a fifth of it, and give it to him whom he has wronged.8 'But if the person has no redeemer to whom restitution may be made for the wrong, the restitution which is made for the wrong must go to the LORD for the priest, besides the ram of atonement, by which atonement is made for him. 9 'Also every contribution pertaining to all the holy gifts of the sons of Israel, which they offer to the priest, shall be his. 10 'So every person's holy gifts shall be his; whatever anyone gives to the priest, it becomes his.'"

Gill's Notes on the Bible

and give [it] unto [him] against whom he hath trespassed; as a satisfaction for the injury done him.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
The law of restitution: a passage supplementary to Leviticus 5:5, etc., Leviticus 6:5, etc.
Numbers 5:7
Recompense his trespass - i. e. make restitution to the person whom he has injured.
Numbers 5:8
Whereby an atonement shall be made for him - literally, “which shall clear him of guilt as to it,” i. e. as to the trespass.
Numbers 5:10
And every man’s hallowed things shall be his - i. e. the priest’s. The heave offerings Numbers 5:9 and dedicatory offerings (e. g. first-fruits) were to be the perquisite of the officiating priests.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Numbers 5:7. Shall confess their sin — Without confession or acknowledgment of sin, there was no hope of mercy held out.
He shall recompense — For without restitution, in every possible case, God will not for give the iniquity of a man's sin. How can any person in a case of defraud, with his neighbour's property in his possession, expect to receive mercy from the hand of a just and holy God?
See this subject considered in Clarke's notes on "Genesis 42:38".
