Contextual Overview

1 Then the LORD spoke to Moses, saying, 2 "Command the sons of Israel that they send away from the camp everyone with leprosy, everyone having a discharge, and everyone who is unclean because of contact with a dead person. 3 "You shall send away both male and female; you shall send them outside the camp so that they do not defile their camp where I dwell in their midst." 4 And the sons of Israel did so and sent them outside the camp; just as the LORD had spoken to Moses, that is what the sons of Israel did. 5 Then the LORD spoke to Moses, saying, 6 "Speak to the sons of Israel: 'When a man or woman commits any of the sins of mankind, acting unfaithfully against the LORD, and that person is guilty,7 then he shall confess his sin which he has committed, and he shall make restitution in full for his wrong and add to it a fifth of it, and give it to him whom he has wronged. 8 'But if the person has no redeemer to whom restitution may be made for the wrong, the restitution which is made for the wrong must go to the LORD for the priest, besides the ram of atonement, by which atonement is made for him. 9 'Also every contribution pertaining to all the holy gifts of the sons of Israel, which they offer to the priest, shall be his. 10 'So every person's holy gifts shall be his; whatever anyone gives to the priest, it becomes his.'"

Bible Verse Review
  from Treasury of Scripure Knowledge

When: Leviticus 5:1-4, Leviticus 5:17, Leviticus 6:2, Leviticus 6:3

and that person: This expression does not merely refer to the actual criminality of the person, but to his consciousness of guilt respecting it: for this case must be distinguished from that of a person detected in dishonesty, which he attempted to conceal.

Reciprocal: Exodus 22:9 - for all manner of trespass Leviticus 4:27 - common people Joshua 7:19 - make Joshua 22:15 - General Ezekiel 33:15 - give

To Seth also a son was born; and he named him Enosh. Then people began to call upon the name of the LORD.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Speak unto the children of Israel,.... Put them in mind of the following law, that they observe it; and which is here repeated, because of two new things in it, as Jarchi observes, the one relates to confession, teaching that there is no fifth part nor trespass offering by witnesses, till a man confesses the thing; and the other is, concerning taking anything away by violence from a proselyte, which is to be given to the priests; see the original law in Leviticus 6:1;

when a man or woman shall commit any sin that men commit; or, "any of the sins of men" e, which are commonly done by men, and men are subject to through the infirmity of the flesh, and the temptations of Satan; or "any sin against man" f, so some, as this referred to is expressly said to be, Numbers 5:7;

to do a trespass against the Lord; for every sin against man is also against the Lord, being a breach of his command; as David's sin against Uriah was a sin against the Lord, Psalms 51:4; though the Jews understand it particularly of lying and swearing falsely, appealing to God, and calling him to be a witness to a falsehood; and so the Targum of Onkelos seems to interpret it:

and the person be guilty; and knows he is so, and even knew it when he took an oath to the contrary; see Leviticus 6:3.

e מכל חטאת האדם "ex omnibus peccatis hominis", Montanus. f "Ex omnibus peccatis contra hominem", Tigurine version; so Patrick.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

The law of restitution: a passage supplementary to Leviticus 5:5, etc., Leviticus 6:5, etc.

Numbers 5:7

Recompense his trespass - i. e. make restitution to the person whom he has injured.

Numbers 5:8

Whereby an atonement shall be made for him - literally, “which shall clear him of guilt as to it,” i. e. as to the trespass.

Numbers 5:10

And every man’s hallowed things shall be his - i. e. the priest’s. The heave offerings Numbers 5:9 and dedicatory offerings (e. g. first-fruits) were to be the perquisite of the officiating priests.
