Is there not, under this precept, concerning trespasses in general, somewhat couched, respecting the special and particular atonement made for offences universally by our nearest kinsman, the LORD JESUS? As the recompense here, was ordered to be made by the kinsmen, so there, it was the kinsman who made restitution for all our injustice and trespasses. It was JESUS that put his name in the bond debt, to answer for all his people. He, and he only, could say: then I restored that which I took not away. Psalms 69:4. Dearest JESUS! praised be thy mercy, that I am not in the situation of the man, spoken of in this scripture, that hath no kinsman to recompense the trespass for him, for thou art my kinsman Redeemer! And I hope that I can say, and with the same well grounded assurance of faith, as Job did, I know that my (GOD) Redeemer liveth. Job 19:25.
Numbers 5:5-10
5 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
6 Speak unto the children of Israel, When a man or woman shall commit any sin that men commit, to do a trespass against the LORD, and that person be guilty;
7 Then they shall confess their sin which they have done: and he shall recompense his trespass with the principal thereof, and add unto it the fifth part thereof, and give it unto him against whom he hath trespassed.
8 But if the man have no kinsman to recompense the trespass unto, let the trespass be recompensed unto the LORD, even to the priest; beside the ram of the atonement, whereby an atonement shall be made for him.
9 And every offeringa of all the holy things of the children of Israel, which they bring unto the priest, shall be his.
10 And every man's hallowed things shall be his: whatsoever any man giveth the priest, it shall be his.
