Numbers 5:6,7 Speak
unto the children of Israel, When a man or woman shall commit any sin … 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. This is a Bible
principal: restitution. God told the Children of Israel that when anyone sinned
against another, they were to repay their sin. If someone stole something and
the theft was discovered, they had to restore whatever they stole … and
they had to add a fifth to the restoration. For example: If I stole five eggs
from your chicken house and my stealing was found out, I had to give the five
eggs back and one extra egg of mine because of my sin of stealing. This
makes stealing a losing plan. God knows how to make people work together and
God knows how to keep us honest. God and His Words are good.
