Before accessing the excerpts, please review a word about copyright.

Are you more of an "I'll dive right in and figure it out" person, or a "Show Me How This Thing Works" person?  If the former, go right ahead and try the excerpts browers on the right side of this page and/or scroll through the excerpts that start below the following information -- although we still suggest reading the information first.  If you are the latter, click here for a video demonstrating the Excerpts Browser. Either way (or both), enjoy! 

This page is recommended for searches limited to specific Torah books, weekly portions (parshiot), chapters, verses, and/or sources (authors). For keyword and/or for exact phrase (including verse and source) searches of the entire excerpts database, we recommend using the Search Engine page.  For broadest results, use both pages and alternative search strategies. 

This page displays the full text of all or "sorted" (filtered) excerpts in the database.  Use the "Torah Verses" and/or "Excerpt Sources" browsers at the right to locate the excerpts associated with your desired Torah book, portion, chapter. verse, or author.  Or, simply scroll through the excerpts, using the "boxes" at the bottom of any page displaying excerpts to "jump" ahead or back. 

Also note that immediately below the chapter, verse, and keyword of each excerpt is a highlighted line comprised of multiple links.  Clicking on any of the links will limit (filter) the excerpts display to the selected category.  

Transcription of excerpts is incomplete.  For current status, please see "Transcribed Sources" on the Search Engine page.  To assist with completion, please see "Contributors" page.

LEVITICUS | 5:24 repay — LEV58 Our Sages, z"l, said (Yoma 85b), "'[For on ...

LEV58 Our Sages, z"l, said (Yoma 85b), "'[For on this day …] you shall be purified for all your sins before Hashem' (Vayikra 16:30) -- Yom Kippur atones for sins that are between man and God (i.e., "sins before Hashem."); Yom Kippur does not atone for sins that are between one man and another, until he appeases his fellow man." As such, one who robs another must [first] return what he stole and then confess his sins. If he first confesses his sin, the confession is not taken into account, as our Sages z"l, said (Bava Kama 110a) in connection with one who robs and [then] swears falsely (i.e., denying that he had stolen the item.), who then must return the principal, add a fifth [this verse; i.e. a quarter of the value of the principal, which is a fifth of both combined. For example, if he stole $100 ("the principal"), he must add $25, which is one-fifth of the $125 he will repay in total. See Vayikra 5:20-26], and bring a guilt-offering: if he returns what he stole before bringing his guilt-offering, he has fulfilled his obligation (i.e., he has fulfilled his obligation of bringing a guilt-offering--the sacrifice is valid); but if he brings his guilt-offering prior to returning what he stole, he has not fulfilled his obligation (the guilt-offering requires confession (Mishneh Torah, Hilchos Ma'aseh Ha-korbanos 3:14). Thus we see that what was stolen must first be returned before confessing the sin. ... He first must bring restitution, and only afterwards [does it say], "… Besides the ram of atonement for which the [Kohen] shall make atonement for him." (i.e., one who steals from a convert who has no heirs must pay back what he stole to Kohanim; only afterwards can he bring his guilt-offering).
