Leviticus 6:4, Leviticus 6:5 NLT

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Leviticus 6:1-7

This is the latter part of the law of the trespass-offering: the former part, which concerned trespasses about holy things, we had in the close of the foregoing chapter; this concerns trespasses in common things. Observe here, I. The trespass supposed, Lev. 6:2, 3. Though all the instances relate to our neighbour, yet it is called a trespass against the Lord, because, though the injury be done immediately to our neighbour, yet an affront is thereby given to his Maker and our Master. He that... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Leviticus 6:4

Then it shall be, because he hath sinned and is guilty ,.... 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 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... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Leviticus 6:1-7

Restitution. This paragraph ought to have been included in the preceding chapter, as it is the conclusion of the subject there considered. The last paragraphs treated of sacrilege, or trespass in the holy things of God; this has reference to trespass between man and man. We have here— I. AN ENUMERATION OF WRONGS . These may be distributed into two classes, viz.: 1 . In matters of fraud. These may be 2. In matters of violence. Such as II. AGGRAVATIONS OF THE... read more

Human ownership and dishonesty. From the Divine directions here given as to the trespass offering, in the case of wrong between man and man, we gather— I. THAT GOD ALLOWS US TO CONSIDER HIS GIFTS AS BELONGING TO OURSELVES . By inheritance or by labour we acquire property; a man has a right to say, concerning an object thus legally acquired, "This is mine." The possession of property is carefully guarded by the declarations of God's Word; "the commandments of the... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Leviticus 6:1-7

Dishonesty atoned for. The rebukes tacitly administered by the Law in cases of unjust dealing are neither effete nor unnecessary in modern days. The practices here reprehended still survive, commercial immorality is even yet a fruitful topic of remark. Temptations to dishonesty abound, and are as potent as of yore, for the springs of evil in the human breast remain unaltered, pouring forth their dark and bitter waters. And whilst it is not by works that the children of God expect to be... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Leviticus 6:1-7

Trespasses done wittingly. These were acts of lying, fraud, deceit, violence, or any social wrong involving conscious trespass on the rights of our neighbour. I. SOCIAL MORALITY RESTS UPON RELIGION . Offenses against neighbours, offenses against God. No true support of society apart from faith. Follies of the modern skeptical school. Enthusiasm of humanity, atheism, development of morality out of a physical basis,—mere dreams of the intellect. Facts of history show that... read more

As before, the profit gained by fraud or violence is to be given up, and with it a fine is to be paid, amounting to one-fifth of the value of the thing appropriated. read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Leviticus 6:1-7

The guilt offering (5:14-6:7)Regulations concerning the guilt offering (GNB: repayment offering) were similar to those for the sin offering made by non-priestly individuals, except that no gradations were allowed (7:1-10; see notes on 4:22-35).Like the sin offering, the guilt offering was offered when people realized they had committed sin unknowingly. But the guilt offering differed from the sin offering in that it was offered in cases where the wrongdoing involved money or things of monetary... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Leviticus 6:4

Leviticus 6:4. Because he hath sinned and is guilty— Some render this, whenever he shall have thus sinned, and is sensible of his guilt, he shall restore, &c. It might perhaps be rendered as nearly to the Hebrew, it shall be, that he who shall have thus sinned, and become liable to punishment, shall restore, &c. The law, however, appears to refer to a voluntary acknowledgment of guilt; see Numbers 5:7. REFLECTIONS.—A variety of trespasses against our neighbour are mentioned, which,... read more
