Or all that about which he has sworn falsely; he shall even restore it in the principal, and shall add the fifth part more thereto, and give it unto him to whom it belongs, in the day of his trespass offering.

Some people consider the commandments of the Old Testament stricter than those of the New, but they are deceived by such a shortsighted interpretation.

In this place the rich man is not censured for having taken away someone else’s property but for not having sufficiently given away his own.
