------------------------------------------------------------------
THE TWO BIBLICAL CHAPTERS
-------------------------
Nu05-06 Speak to the Jews  a man or woman  sinning against a person
Lv05-21                    a soul          sinning
        *1                *2               *3



Nu05-06 till he desecrates God
Lv06-21 and  he desecrates God   & he denies a deposit,loan,..theft
        *4                       *5




Nu05-06 if that soul feels guilty
Lv06-21 when he sins and feels guilty     he shall return the theft
        *6                                *7




Nu05-06 He'll confess his sin     he'll return GUILT & add a fifth
Lv06-21                           he'll pay PRINCIPLE & its  fifths
        *8                        *9





Nu05-06 & give it to the person he feels GUILTY about
Lv06-21 & give it to the person to WHOM IT BELONGS
        *10





Nu05-06 If there are no heirs to return to .... then..
Lv06-21 ....
        *11





Nu05-06 ...Besides the ram of atonement
Lv06-21 ...he will bring an offering, a ram
        *12

-------------------------------------------------------------------


NOTES
-----
NOTES occur in 4 groups with common themes.

*1*2*3*4*6 No explanatory comments are made by Rashi on the
           minor differences on these phrases



*5*7 These 2 clauses describe WHAT THE CHAPTERS ARE TALKING ABOUT

     They are talking about a person who denies under oath
     having received a deposit or who steals someone or witholds
     wages

     The person (when he confesses his sin) must return the denied
     object (ie the deposit, theft or wages..)

     Other procedures are also mentioned in each chapter such as
     a fine of "a fifth" and bringing an offering(For the false
     oath he took)





*9*10 Rashi uses the ALIGNMENT to infer meaning

      The phrase "RETURN HIS GUILT" in Nu05-06 corresponds to
      "RETURN THE PRINCIPLE" in Lv06-21

      Similarly the phrase "RETURN TO THE PERSON HE FEELS GUILTY"
      in Nu05-06 corresponds to "RETURN TO THE PERSON TO WHOM IT
      BELONGS" in Lv06-21.


*8*11 Rashi explains that this chapter,initially stated in Lv06-21,
      was repeated in Nu05-06 because of these 2 extra laws

      *8 There is a requirement to CONFESS THE SIN
      *11 To deal with the case where he robbed a convert who has
          no heirs...special laws govern the return of money in
          this case (The money goes to the Priests)
