8 But if the man has no kinsman to whom restitution may be made for the guilt, the restitution for guilt which is made to Yahweh shall be the priest's; besides the ram of the atonement, by which atonement shall be made for him.


Commentary on this verse  

By Henry MacLagan

Verse 8. But if the internal man be not opened, with him who should make restitution thereto, and yet acknowledgement is made to the Lord from the principle of good, then guilt is removed nevertheless, on account of this good, and of the good of innocence and charity by which the external man is reconciled with the internal and thus with the Lord.
