Why go above and beyond full restitution? (Numbers 5:7)

Why go above and beyond full restitution? (Numbers 5:7)

Confessing and Paying for Sins

5 The Lord said to Moses, 6 “Tell the Israelites: If you do something wrong to another person, you have been unfaithful to the Lord. When you realize your guilt, 7 you must confess your sin, pay in full for what you did wrong, add one-fifth to it, and give it to the person who was wronged. 8 But there may be no heir to whom the payment can be made. In that case, the payment for what you did wrong must be given to the Lord for the priest to use. This payment is in addition to the ram which makes peace with the Lord.
