Numbers 5:10

_AND EVERY MAN'S HALLOWED THINGS SHALL BE HIS: WHATSOEVER ANY MAN GIVETH THE PRIEST, IT SHALL BE HIS._ Every man's hallowed things shall be his, х_ Wª'IYSH_ (H376) _ 'ET_ (H854) _ QAADAASHAAYW_ (H6944)]; Septuagint, hekastou ta heegiasmena]. This refers most probably not to sacrifices, whether voluntary or vowed, but to other votive offerings, not of a sacrificial character, such as the tithe, or consecration of a house, etc. The limitation of the statement to such cases as these is obvious-because these offerings were the portion of the priests, while sacrifices were, in special parts, devoted to God, while the remainder, reserving a portion only to the priest, was given to the offerer....

1-10 The camp was to be cleansed. The purity of the church must be kept as carefully as the peace and order of it. Every polluted Israelite must be separated. The wisdom from above is first pure, then peaceable. The greater profession of religion any house or family makes, the more they are obliged to put away iniquity far from them. If a man overreach or defraud his brother in any matter, it is a trespass against the Lord, who strictly charges and commands us to do justly. What is to be done when a man's awakened conscience charges him with guilt of this kind, though done long ago? He must confess his sin, confess it to God, confess it to his neighbour, and take shame to himself; though it go against him to own himself in a lie, yet he must do it. Satisfaction must be made for the offence done to God, as well as for the loss sustained by the neighbour; restitution in that case is not e...

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 pri

EXPOSITION RESTITUTION TO BE MADE FOR TRESPASSES (Numbers 5:5-4). NUMBERS 5:6 SHALL COMMIT ANY SIN THAT MEN COMMIT. Literally, "[one] of all the transgressions of men," i.e; the wrongs current amongst men. To do a TRESPASS AGAINST THE Lord. This qualifies the former expression, and restricts its reference to the sins mentioned in Le Numbers 6:2, Numbers 6:8, Numbers 6:5, viz; wron

AND EVERY MAN'S HALLOWED THINGS SHALL BE HIS,.... Which he, by a vow or freewill offering, separates to holy uses; these are at his own dispose, to give to what priest he will, or they are the priest's; for what a man devotes to the Lord is to be given to them, or such things as God has hallowed, sanctified, and set apart for sacred uses, as the firstfruits and tithes, they were the priests'; the Jewish writers i restrain it to tithes: WHATSOEVER ANY MAN GIVETH THE PRIEST, IT SHALL BE HIS; his personally, who officiates, or to whom the gift is given, and is not to be divided among the other priests in the course. i Targ.

4. THE SANCTIFICATION OF THE CAMP AND THE NAZARITE CHAPTER 5 _ 1. Concerning the leper, the issue and defilement of the dead (Numbers 5:1)_ 2. Concerning restitution (Numbers 5:5) 3. Concerning the wife suspected of adultery (Numbers 5:11) So far we had the outward arrangement of the camp. This chapter tells us that the camp had to be holy and therefore must be cleansed from that which defiles. Divine directions are given concerning the unclean person, the restitution of anything unjustly taken and what is to be done with a wife suspected of adultery. Leprosy could not be tolerated in the camp in the midst whereof Jehovah dwelt. The persons who had an issue and had come in touch with the de

THE RESTITUTION OF MISAPPROPRIATED PROPERTY. This regulation supplements the law contained in Leviticus 6:1, which, dealing with the restitution of property wrongfully appropriated, omits to explain how it is to be disposed of, if the owner has died without leaving any kinsman to whom restitution may be made. The present enactment enjoins that the property in such a case shall pass to the priest as Yahweh's representative. Numbers 5:9. HEAVE OFFERING: better, contribution, the word meaning in strictness anything heaved (or lifted) from a larger aggregate....

Payments in compensation for wrongs. Part of this section (Numbers 5:6) is supplementary to the regulations in Leviticus 6:1-7. It is there laid down that if anyone incur guilt through wronging his neighbour by robbery, or oppression, by appropriating something committed to his keeping as a deposit, or by concealing the fact that he has found lost property, he must confess, and restore the property _plus_one-fifth, and offer to God as an atonement for his sin a guilt-offering of a ram. It is, to use a modern phrase, -conscience money." In the present passage it is further provided that if the neighbour whom he has wronged be dead, and there be no _gô"çl_(see note below) to whom the property can be restored, it is to be paid to the priest. The ram of the guilt-offering is, of course, to be offered

B. RESTITUTION AND OFFERING FOR THEFT vv. 5-10 TEXT Numbers 5:5. And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying, 6. Speak unto the children of Israel, When a man or woman shall commit any sin that men commit, to do a trespass against the Lord, and that person be guilty; 7. Then they shall confess their sin which they have done: and he shall recompense his trespass with the principal thereof, and add unto it the fifth part thereof, and give it unto him against whom he hath trespassed. 8. But if the man have no kinsman to recompense the trespass unto, let the trespass be recompensed unto the Lord, even to the priest; beside the ram of the atonement, whereby an atonement shall be made for him. 9. And every offering of all the holy things of the children of Israel, which they bring unto the priest, shall be his. 10. And every man's hallowed things shall be his: whatsoever any man giveth the priest, i
