8 But 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.

10 Each man’s sacred gifts are his own, but whatever he gives to the priest will belong to the priest.”
