Or all that about which he hath sworn falsely; he shall even restore it in the principal, and shall add the fifth part more thereto, and give it unto him to whom it appertaineth, in the day of his trespass offering (Leviticus 6:5 KJV).
Therefore if thou bring thy gift to the altar, and there rememberest that thy brother hath ought against thee; Leave there thy gift before the altar, and go thy way; first be reconciled to thy brother, and then come and offer thy gift (Matthew 5:23-24 KJV).
If a man shall steal an ox, or a sheep, and kill it, or sell it; he shall restore five oxen for an ox, and four sheep for a sheep (Exodus 22:1 KJV).
One must restore to the offended brother full restitution and add to it one-fifth more before offering the trespass offering to God. In Luke 19, Zaccheus is willing to give half of his possessions to the poor and pay four-fold restitution to those he has defrauded.
