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.
