9147. 'The one kindling what is kindled shall surely make repayment' means undertaking restoration for the things taken away by the anger arising from an affection for evil. This is clear from the meaning of 'making repayment' as undertaking restoration, dealt with in 9087, [9097;] and from the meaning of 'fire which breaks out' as anger arising from an affection for evil, dealt with in 9143, so that 'kindling' means taking away or consuming by that anger, and 'what is kindled' means what is taken away or consumed.

9087. 'The owner of the pit shall make repayment' means that the one with whom the falsity resides shall make amends. This is clear from the meaning of 'the owner of the pit' as the one with whom the falsity resides, 'the pit' meaning falsity, see 9084, 9086; and from the meaning of 'making repayment' as making amends. The reason why 'making repayment' means making amends is that 'a fine' means amendment, 9045, and 'the silver' he was to pay means the truth by means of which the amendment was accomplished, dealt with in what follows next.
