sheep.
or, goat.
he shall.There is a smaller compensation required in other things, (ver. 9,) and also a disproportion between an ox and a sheep. The reason of the former is, as Maimonides explains it, because money, goods, etc., are better guarded in houses and cities, than cattle in a field; which consequently can be more easily stolen.
The reason of the latter seems to be, as it is explained by Bishop Patrick, that an ox was of greater value, and more useful for the purposes of husbandry.
Lv. 6:1‑6• 1Y habló Jehová á Moisés, diciendo:
2Cuando una persona pecare, é hiciere prevaricación contra Jehová, y negare á su prójimo lo encomendado ó dejado en su mano, ó bien robare, ó calumniare á su prójimo;
3O sea que hallando lo perdido, después lo negare, y jurare en falso, en alguna de todas aquellas cosas en que suele pecar el hombre:
4Entonces será que, puesto habrá pecado y ofendido, restituirá aquello que robó, ó por el daño de la calumnia, ó el depósito que se le encomendó, ó lo perdido que halló,
5O todo aquello sobre que hubiere jurado falsamente; lo restituirá, pues, por entero, y añadirá á ello la quinta parte, que ha de pagar á aquel á quien pertenece en el día de su expiación.
6Y por su expiación traerá á Jehová un carnero sin tacha de los rebaños, conforme á tu estimación, al sacerdote para la expiación.
