Pool. Or in fellowship, Heb., or in putting of the hand. Which may be either, 1. Another expression of the same thing immediately going before, which is very frequent in Scripture; and so the sense is, when one man puts anything into another man's hand to keep for him; and when he

distinct branch, which seems more probable,
and so it belongs to commerce or fellowship
in trading, which is very usual, when one
man puts any thing into another's hand, not
to keep it, as in the foregoing word or
member, but to use and improve it for the
common benefit of them both, in which
cases of partnership it is easy for one to
deceive the other, and therefore provision is
here made against it. And this is called a
putting of the hand, because such agreements
and associations used to be confirmed by
giving or joining their hands together, Jer.
L. 15; Gal. ii. 9. Compare Exod. xxiii. 1.

I showed, iv. 22, 23, to make a clear sense of the law there mentioned. And it would otherwise be superfluous here: for when a man hath sinned so grievously as the foregoing verses suppose, who could doubt of his guilt? The true meaning, therefore, is, when he hath sinned (so the first words may be translated) by committing any of those

things before mentioned, and acknoueledges עַל-שֶׁקֶר עַל־אַחַת מִכָּל אֲשֶׁר־יַעֲשֶׂה his guilt, he shall restore that which he took הָאָדָם לַחֲטְא בָהֵנָּה :

away violently, &c. And this most plainly

reconciles the contradiction, that otherwise would be between this law and that in Exod. xxii. 1, 7, 9, where a man that stole an ox is condemned to restore five oxen, and

Au. Ver.—3 Or have found that which four sheep for one; and if he delivered was lost, and lieth concerning it, and swear-money to another to keep, and it was stolen, eth falsely; in any of all these that a man the thief was to pay double; whereas here, doeth, sinning therein. one simple restitution is exacted, with an addition of a fifth part. The reason is, because in Exodus he speaks of those thieves who were convicted by witnesses in a court of law; and then condemned to make such great restitution: but here of such as, touched with a sense of their sin, came voluntarily and acknowledged their theft, or other crime, of which nobody convicted them, or at least confessed it freely when they were adjured; and therefore were condemned to suffer a lesser punishment, and to expiate their guilt by a sacrifice. L'Empereur upon Bava kama, cap.vii., sect. 1, and cap. ix., sect. 1, 5, 7, where he observes very judiciously, that this interpretation is confirmed by Numb. v. 7, where the first words may be translated, "If they shall confess their sin that they have done," &c. And this seems to be more reasonable than the account which Maimonides gives of this

Rosen, Aut invenerit rem amissam et de ea mentitus fuerit, negaverit eam a se inventam. -, Aut falso juraverit de uno ex omnibus, quæ faciet homo peccando in illis, i.e., vel falso de ulla re, circa quam homines peccare solent, juraverit. Futurum apud Hebr. consuetudinem significat, ut sæpius observatum. Hoc jusjurandum est de re præterita, quum vs. 4, jusjurandum de re futura memoratum esset.
