They must make full restitution for the wrong they have done, add a fifth of the value to it and give it all to the person they have wronged.
--Numbers 5:7 NIV
But Zacchaeus stood up and said to the Lord, “Look, Lord! Here and now I give half of my possessions to the poor, and if I’ve cheated anybody out of anything, I will pay back four times the amount.
--Luke 19:8 NIV
Jesus said unto him, “Today salvation has come to this house, because this man, too, is a son of Abraham.”
