BY CHAYA COLMAN
NASO
"Speak to the Children of Israel: when a man or a woman shall do any of these sins against
man to act deceitfully against Hashem and that person incurred guilt (Hebrew: 'v'ashmah').
Then they shall confess their sin which they have done and he shall restore that wherein he
is guilty together with the principal thereof, and add to it its fifth and give it to whom he is
guilty” Bamidbar 5:6-7.
In this week’s parsha we find the law of a person who swears falsely in court denying a debt
he owes to someone.
Rashi explains “to whom he is guilty” means “to whom he owes the money”.
This is however quite clear and on the surface Rashi’s explanation seems somewhat redundant.
The Maharal (Rabbi Judah Loew of Prague) suggests in his commentary of the Torah: Gur Aryeh,
that there is a likely misunderstanding here. Where the verse states “and that person incurred
guilt” the word “ashma” is used – referring to being guilty to Hashem, as is shown earlier in
the verse “to act deceitfully against Hashem”. The use of the word “ashma” could lead us to
assuming that our debt is only to Hasham and that we would have to bring an offering as
atonement.
Rashi is in fact clarifying that the word “ashma” does not mean “guilty” and that it actually
means “obligated to”. While the thief is guilty to G-d and for which an offering is required, he
is also obligated to pay damages to the man from whom he stole and swore falsely.
This may seem obvious, but Rashi is actually clarifying two matters, one specific to the language
used and one on a moral level.
The lesson on the language is that although the Hebrew word "asham" can mean either "guilty"
or "obligated"; they are not the same.
The second matter is morally significant. A man should not feel he can atone for his theft by
making "holy" use of the profits.
Maimonides (Rabbeinu Moshe Ben Maimon) takes this one step further. In Sefer HaMitzvos he
teaches that “they shall confess their sin” is mentioned specifically in this pasuk to teach that
even where the Torah mandates a specific offering, as in this case of an atonement offering,
there cannot be atonement without confession. One should always admit to any wrong doing,
as Teshuvah cannot be completed without recognising and regretting one’s sin.
