# But if the wronged person has no close relative to receive the payment

Usually the wronged person would receive the payment but if that person has died the payment goes to the closest relative. The full meaning of this statement can be made explicit. Alternate translation: "But if the wronged person has died and has no close relative to receive the payment" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-explicit]])

# if the wronged person

This can be stated in active form. Alternate translation: "if the person whom the guilty person has wronged" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-activepassive]])

# he must pay the price for his guilt to me through a priest

If a person made a payment to a priest to pay for his guilt it was the same as if the person had made the payment to Yahweh.

# to atone for himself

The atonement is made for the man's sin. Here Yahweh refers to the man's sin as the man who committed it. Alternate translation: "to atone for his sin" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metonymy]])
