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.

8077. 'Shall be for Jehovah' means that it is the Lord's, for in the Word 'Jehovah' is used to mean none other than the Lord, see 1343, 1736, 2921, 3023, 3035, 5041, 5663, 6281, 6303, 6905, 6945, 6956. The contents of these two verses are not explained any further here because they have been explained already at verse 2 of the present chapter, in 8042-8045.
