Commentary on Numbers 5:8
The provision that restitution go to the priest when the wronged party had no kinsman demonstrates God's concern that justice not be thwarted by technicalities. The Hebrew goel (kinsman-redeemer) normally received restitution, but if none existed, the priest represented God's claim. This establishes that all sin is ultimately against God, even when it directly harms neighbors. The priest receiving the restitution pictures Christ who, as our kinsman-redeemer, receives the satisfaction for sins committed against God and His people.
