Ellicott's Commentary On The Whole Bible

Leviticus 6:4

Then it shall be, because he hath sinned, and is guilty. — Better, And it shall come to pass, token he hath so sinned, and acknowledged his guilt. (See Leviticus 4:22.) That is, when he has committed any of the aforementioned offences, and denied the sin with an oath, but afterwards voluntarily acknowledges his guilt without having been found out.

That he shall restore that... which he hath deceitfully gotten. — Better, then he shall restore, &c.
