The trespass money and sin money was not brought into the house of the LORD: it was the priests'.

The money for the trespass-offerings, and the money for the sin-offerings, was not brought into the house of Jehovah: it was the priests .

But the money for trespass, and the money for sine, they brought not into the temple of the Lord, because it was for the priests.

The money for the guilt offerings, and the money for the sin offerings, was not brought into the house of the LORD: it was the priests'.

The money of a trespass-offering, and the money of sin-offerings is not brought in to the house of Jehovah, for the priests it is.

The money of the offerings for error and the sin-offerings was not taken into the house of the Lord; it was the priests'.

The forfeit money, and the sin money, was not brought into the house of the LORD; it was the priests.

Yet truly, the money for offenses and the money for sins, they did not bring into the temple of the Lord, since it was for the priests.

The trespass money and the sin money - In all cases of injury done to another, a man was bound by the Law to make compensation, to the sufferer, if possible; if not, to his nearest kinsman. If the man was dead and had left no kinsman, then the compensation was to be made to the priest Numbers 5:8. This would form a part of the trespass and sin money. The remainder would accrue from the voluntary gifts made to the priests by those who came to make atonement for sins or trespasses Numbers 5:10. On the difference between "sins" and "trespasses," see Leviticus 5:14 note.

The trespass money and sin money was not brought into the house of the Lord,.... Which was the money persons at a distance sent for their trespass and sin offerings instead of cattle, with which the sacrifices were bought; and what remained of the money was not brought into the temple, and made use of in the above manner:
it was the priest's; the overplus of it, and such of the sacrifices which by the law were appropriated to them.

The money obtained from trespass-offerings and sin-offerings was not brought into the house of Jehovah, i.e., was not applied to the repairing of the temple, but was left for the priests. In the case of the trespass-offering compensation had to be made for the earthly debt according to the valuation of the priest, with the addition of a fifth in money; and this was assigned to the priests not only in the case of a מעל committed against Jehovah, but also when a neighbour had been injured in his property, if he had died in the meantime (see at Leviticus 5:16 and Numbers 5:9). On the other hand, in the case of the sin-offerings the priests received no money according to the law. Most of the commentators therefore assume, that those who lived at a distance had sent money to the priests, that they might offer sin-offerings with it, and what money as over they had retained for themselves. But there is not the slightest trace of any such custom, which is quite at variance with the idea of the sin-offering. It may probably have become a customary thing in the course of time, for those who presented these offerings to compensate the officiating priest for his trouble by a free-will gift.
