In the Old Testament, sin is often seen as a breach of covenant with God, reflecting a lack of faithfulness to His commands. This concept is echoed in <a href="/psalms/51-4.htm">Psalm 51:4</a>, where David acknowledges that his sin is primarily against God. The idea of unfaithfulness is central to the covenant relationship between God and Israel, where obedience is a sign of loyalty and love.by deceiving his neighbor Deception is a violation of the commandment against bearing false witness (<a href="/exodus/20-16.htm">Exodus 20:16</a>). In ancient Israel, community trust was vital, and deceit undermined social cohesion. The Hebrew word for deceive can also imply betrayal, which is a serious breach of trust. This reflects the broader biblical theme that God values truth and integrity, as seen in <a href="/proverbs/12-22.htm">Proverbs 12:22</a>, which states that lying lips are an abomination to the Lord.in regard to a deposit or security entrusted to him This phrase refers to the practice of entrusting goods or money to another for safekeeping, a common practice in ancient societies. The Mosaic Law provided specific guidelines for handling such deposits (<a href="/exodus/22-7.htm">Exodus 22:7-13</a>), emphasizing the importance of honesty and accountability. The concept of stewardship is significant here, as it reflects the broader biblical principle that individuals are responsible for what is entrusted to them, whether by God or others.or stolen The mention of theft directly connects to the commandment "You shall not steal" (<a href="/exodus/20-15.htm">Exodus 20:15</a>). Theft is a direct violation of another's rights and property, disrupting the social order and trust within the community. The law in Leviticus seeks to address not only the act of theft but also the restoration and restitution required to mend the relationship between the offender, the victim, and God.or if he extorts his neighbor Extortion involves using power or threats to obtain something from someone, which is condemned throughout Scripture. This behavior is contrary to the biblical call to love one's neighbor (<a href="/leviticus/19-18.htm">Leviticus 19:18</a>) and reflects a misuse of power and authority. The prophets frequently denounce extortion and oppression, as seen in <a href="/micah/2.htm">Micah 2:1-2</a>, where those who covet and seize fields are condemned.

As fraud and plunder are most subversive of social life, a crime of this sort is described as an insult to God, who is the founder and sovereign ruler of his people.In that which was delivered him to keep.--To deposit valuable property with a neighbour was, and still is, a common practice in the East where no responsible establishments exist for the reception of private treasure. Hence, when a man went on a journey, he concealed his precious things underground. This was connected with the danger of forgetting the spot where they were hidden, when search and digging had to be resorted to. This not only accounts for the fact that treasure is called in Hebrew by a name which denotes hidden, or things which men are in the habit of hiding underground, but explains such allusions as "hidden riches of secret places" (<a href="/isaiah/45-3.htm" title="And I will give you the treasures of darkness, and hidden riches of secret places, that you may know that I, the LORD, which call you by your name, am the God of Israel.">Isaiah 45:3</a>), "and searchest for her as for hid treasure" (<a href="/proverbs/2-4.htm" title="If you seek her as silver, and search for her as for hid treasures;">Proverbs 2:4</a>), "dig for it more than for hid treasure" (<a href="/job/3-21.htm" title="Which long for death, but it comes not; and dig for it more than for hid treasures;">Job 3:21</a>). To avoid this danger, men entrusted their treasure to the custody of a neighbour. It is to this practice which the text before us refers, and it is from this practice that the apostle took the expression when he declares, "I am persuaded that he is able to keep that which I have committed unto him against that day" (<a href="/2_timothy/1-12.htm" title="For the which cause I also suffer these things: nevertheless I am not ashamed: for I know whom I have believed, and am persuaded that he is able to keep that which I have committed to him against that day.">2Timothy 1:12</a>; see also <a href="/leviticus/6-14.htm" title="And this is the law of the meat offering: the sons of Aaron shall offer it before the LORD, before the altar.">Leviticus 6:14</a>, and <a href="/1_timothy/6-20.htm" title="O Timothy, keep that which is committed to your trust, avoiding profane and vain babblings, and oppositions of science falsely so called:">1Timothy 6:20</a>). . . . <div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/pulpit/leviticus/6.htm">Pulpit Commentary</a></div>Verse 2. - This verse would be better translated as follows: - If a soul sin, and commit a trespass against the Lord, and falsely deny to his neighbour something that was delivered to him to keep, or something that he had received in pawn, or something that he had taken away by violence, or hath got something by oppression from his neighbour.
