Komentaryong Sumisipi para sa Isaias 61:8

from among you: This word appears later in the sentence than is syntactically called for. The sentence is understood as if it read, “any man among you who brings a sacrifice…”. Many Hebrew sentences exhibit similar constructions. or Scripture employs synecdoche and connotes “from your possessions” by the words “from you”. or By altering its location in the sentence, and stressing “from you ”, Scripture alludes to the unacceptability of bringing offerings of stolen animals. Compare, “I hate robbery with burnt offerings” [Isaiah 61:8].

Tanchuma Tzav 1 comments on this verse that the reason that the Torah chose the word אדם [rather than איש as is usual, Ed.] is to teach that just as when Adam offered a sacrifice he used an animal which was his, was not illegally acquired (seeing he owned all of the earth), so any offering to G’d must be legally owned by the person offering it else it is not only not pleasing to the Lord but displeasing. Isaiah 61,8 spells this out more precisely when he quotes G’d as שונא גזל בעולה, “I hate robbery with a burnt-offering.”

So should you not bring from stolen property. As it is written (Yeshayahu 61:8): “[For I am Hashem, Who loves justice,] hates robbery in a burnt offering.”
