Kapłańska 5:25 Komentarz: Tze'enah Ure'enah, Rav Hirsch & Ibn Ezra

“He shall bring his penalty to the Lord” [5:25]. The person, when he has returned the stolen object, still has to bring a sacrifice afterwards. The sin is very great and concerning this, Job punished his wise men. “If there is iniquity with you, remove it, and do not let injustice reside in your tent” [Job, 11:14]. That is to say, if you have something stolen in your hand, publicly give it back immediately. Also, if you have a stolen object hidden in your house, also give it back. “Then, you will hold your head high” [Job, 11:15]. That is to say, you will be able to freely hold up your head in front of all the people, when you will return the stolen objects to each one of them. Concerning this, David also said in his prayer, “against You alone have I sinned” [Psalms, 51:6]. That is to say, he said: I have sinned against You alone and not to any person. That is to say, I have not stolen from anyone. Therefore, he was worthy to come to the World to Come, and we should also be worthy, amen.²⁵Bahya, Leviticus, 5:24.
