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.

3 or hath founde that whiche was loste and denyeth it, and swereth falsely, in what soeuer thinge it be that a man doth and synneth therein,
4 Then when he hath synned or trespaced, he shall restore agayne that he toke violently awaye, or the wronge whiche he dyd, or that whiche was delyuered him to kepe, or the lost thinge which he founde,
5 or what soeuer it be aboute which he hath sworne falsely, he shall restore it agayne in the whole sume and shal adde the fifte parte moare thereto and geue it vnto him to whome it pertayneth, the same daye that he offereth for his trespace,
6 and shall brynge for his trespace offerynge vnto the Lorde, a ram without blymesh out of the flocke, that is estemed worth a trespaceofferynge vnto the preast.
