Leviticus 6:4

4 If you have sinned in any of these ways, you are guilty. You must give back whatever you stole, or the money you took by extortion, or the security deposit, or the lost property you found,

Leviticus 6:4 Meaning and Commentary

Leviticus 6:4

Then it shall be, because he hath sinned and is guilty,
&c.] Owns his guilt through remorse of conscience, and makes a confession of it; or otherwise, upon conviction, without such confession he was to pay double, see ( Exodus 22:7-9 ) whereas, in this case it is only ordered,

that he shall restore that which he took violently away:
whether money, goods, or cattle:

or the thing which he hath deceitfully gotten;
by outwitting him, by extortion, by false accusation, or detention of wages:

or that which was delivered him to keep;
in which he was unfaithful to his trust, be it what it will:

or the lost thing which he found;
and denied he had it.

Leviticus 6:4 In-Context

2 “Suppose one of you sins against your associate and is unfaithful to the LORD . Suppose you cheat in a deal involving a security deposit, or you steal or commit fraud,

3 or you find lost property and lie about it, or you lie while swearing to tell the truth, or you commit any other such sin.

4 If you have sinned in any of these ways, you are guilty. You must give back whatever you stole, or the money you took by extortion, or the security deposit, or the lost property you found,

5 or anything obtained by swearing falsely. You must make restitution by paying the full price plus an additional 20 percent to the person you have harmed. On the same day you must present a guilt offering.

6 As a guilt offering to the LORD, you must bring to the priest your own ram with no defects, or you may buy one of equal value.
