LEV366 Although lashes as administered by a court of law are not given for these types of prohibitions [i.e., that can be rectified by fulfilling a positive commandment, such as sending away a mother bird], nonetheless, some of them carry severe punishment--[the sins] reach right up into the heavens, and their judgment ascends into the upper firmament (Yirmeyahu 51:9). An example of this would be theft, as the pasuk says [this verse], "You shall not rob," which is rectified by [fulfilling] the positive commandment of (Leviticus 5:23) "He must return the robbed article." (Continued at [[GEN612]] Genesis 6:13 lawlessness GATES 195).
