Leviticus 6:4-5
"Then it shall be, because he hath sinned, and is guilty, that he shall restore that which he took violently away, or the thing which he hath deceitfully gotten, or that which was delivered him to keep, or the lost thing which he found, 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."
"If we have injured others through any unjust business transaction, if we have overreached in trade, or defrauded any man, even though it be within the pale of the law, we should confess our wrong, and make restitution as far as lies in our power. It is right for us to restore not only that which we have taken, but all that it would have accumulated if put to a right and wise use during the time it has been in our possession. DA 556.2"
Both passages discuss restitution for wrongs committed, including adding a portion to the original amount. EGW's passage directly echoes the principle outlined in Leviticus.
Leviticus 6:26
"The priest that offereth it for sin shall eat it: in the holy place shall it be eaten, in the court of the tabernacle of the congregation."
"shall eat it: In a holy place shall it be eaten, in the court of the tent of meeting.” Leviticus 6:26 , R.V. See also Leviticus 4:22-35 . PP 761.2"
Ellen White directly references Leviticus 6:26 in this passage.
