Exegesis
The Hiphil infinitive construct lə-hā-šîḇ {לְהָשִׁיב | lə-hā-šîḇ} ‘to restore’ governs hā-’ā-šām {הָאָשָׁם | hā-’ā-šām} ‘the guilt offering’, marked dative by ʾê-lāw {אֵלָיו | ʾê-lāw}.
In context — Numbers 5:8
And if the one wronged has no redeemer to whom restitution for the wrong may be restored, the restitution to be restored shall belong to the LORD for the priest, apart from the ram of atonement which atones for him.
