Lalu ia berkata kepada ibunya: “Seribu seratus keping perak yang diambil darimu, yang karenanya engkau mengucapkan kutuk, bahkan engkau mengucapkannya di telingaku, sesungguhnya perak itu ada padaku; akulah yang mengambilnya.” Lalu kata ibunya: “Diberkatilah anakku oleh Yang Mahakekal!”
Ibn Ezra
anyone who sins, having heard admission of guilt specifically, regarding forbidden articles (as in, “you admitted your guilt” [Judges 17:2]). Although Scripture employs brevity, it implicitly warns the witness that he is obliged to testify, since if he does not testify, he is subject to Divine punishment: he has committed an offense . This applies when the witness forgot to testify, and afterward remembered.
