Leviticus 6:5

or in anything as to which he hath been swearing to a falsehood, then shall he make it good in the principal thereof, and the fifth part thereof, shall he add thereunto,—to whomsoever it belongeth, to him, shall he give it in the day he becometh aware of his guilt;

The Emphasised Bible by J. B. Rotherham

In The King James Version

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.

In Context

6but, his guilt-bearer, itself, shall he bring in unto Yahweh,—a ram without defect out of the flock by thine estimate as a guilt-bearer, unto the priest.
