Números 5:7 Meaning and Commentary

Numbers 5:7

Then they shall confess their sin which they have done
The form of which confession, according to Fagius, was, O Lord, I am guilty of death, I have deserved to be stoned for this sin, or to be strangled for this trespass, or to be burnt for this crime

and he shall recompense his trespass with the principal thereof, and
add unto it the fifth [part] thereof;
paying the whole of whatsoever he had in any manner defrauded his neighbour of, to which he was to add a fifth part of that; that is, as Aben Ezra interprets it, it he confesses of himself, but if there are witnesses of it he must add two fifths, and some say a fifth of a fifth:

and give [it] unto [him] against whom he hath trespassed;
as a satisfaction for the injury done him.

Números 5:7 In-Context

5 El SEÑOR le ordenó a Moisés

6 que les dijera a los israelitas: «El hombre o la mujer que peque contra su prójimo, traiciona al SEÑOR y tendrá que responder por ello.

7 Deberá confesar su pecado y pagarle a la persona perjudicada una compensación por el daño causado, con un recargo del veinte por ciento.

8 Pero si la persona perjudicada no tiene ningún pariente, la compensación será para el SEÑOR y se le entregará al sacerdote, junto con el carnero para expiación del culpable.

9 Toda contribución que los israelitas consagren para dársela al sacerdote, será del sacerdote.
