Leviticus 6:5 provides guidelines for individuals who have committed wrongs, particularly in cases of false oaths. It emphasizes the importance of making full restitution, which includes returning the stolen property and adding a penalty. This reflects the broader biblical principle of justice and accountability, as seen in other passages like Leviticus 5:16 and Exodus 22:1–4.

The Key Word — יִשָּׁבַ֣ע, yi.sha.Va'generated
The verb שָׁבַע (*shaba`*) means 'to swear' and is in the Niphal stem, indicating a passive or reflexive action. It suggests a serious commitment or promise, often invoking God as a witness. The usage here implies a solemn declaration that has been made falsely.
This verb is crucial in the context of legal and moral obligations in ancient Israel. The act of swearing falsely carries significant weight, as it not only involves a breach of trust but also necessitates restitution and acknowledgment of guilt.

The early church on this verse — how the Fathers read it
Gregory the Dialogist discusses the strictness of Old Testament precepts in relation to justice and restitution, highlighting the moral implications of the laws.
Some think that the precepts of the Old Testament are stricter than those of the New; but these are certainly deceived by careless consideration. For in the Old Testament, not avarice but robbery is punished.Early Church Fathers on Leviticus 6 →

Charles John Ellicott1819–1905Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(5) And shall add the fifth part more thereto.—The first thing the offender must do, when he realises and confesses his guilt, is to make restitution of the property which he had embezzled, if he still has it, or if that be impossible, he is to pay the value of it as estimated by the authorised tribunal. Besides this, the offender is to add a fifth part of the principal, to compensate for the loss which the owner sustained during the interval. It will be seen that in Exodus 22:1-9, when a person was guilty of any of the offences here specified, the offender was condemned to make a four fold restitution, whilst in the passage before us the mulct is reduced to the restitution of the principal…

Damage done to the property of another by fraud or violence This section of the laws regulating the Guilt-Offering has a special heading like that in Leviticus 5:14, introducing those laws, whereas the whole of the legislation with respect to the Sin-Offering has but one introductory heading in Leviticus 4:1. Many of these offences are dealt with in Exodus 22:7-13 where the legal procedure is set forth; here they are regarded as a trespass against the Lord, and a sacrifice is demanded. It is thought that the cases treated here are those which are disclosed by the evil doer voluntarily because he has repented of his sin. The actions in question are not…

The Masoretic Text is supported by the Samaritan Pentateuch, which agrees word for word. The Septuagint matches 15 of the 18 words in a word-for-word correspondence, indicating a close relationship between the texts despite differences in order.

oth (shebhu`ah, probably from shebha`, "seven," the sacred number, which occurs frequently in the ritual of an oath; horkos; and the stronger word 'alah, by which a curse is actually invoked upon the oath-breaker Septuagint ara)): In Mt 26:70-74 Peter first denies his Lord simply, then with an oath (shebhu`ah), then invokes a curse ('alah), thus passing through every stage of asseveration.
1. Law Regarding Oaths:
The oath is the invoking of a curse upon one's self if one has not spoken the truth (Mt 26:74), or if one fails to keep a promise (1Sa 19:6; 20:17; 2Sa 15:21; 19:23). It played a very important part, not only in lawsuits (
Oath
A solemn appeal to God, permitted on fitting occasions (Deut. 6:13; Jer. 4:2), in various forms (Gen. 16:5; 2 Sam. 12:5; Ruth 1:17; Hos. 4:15; Rom. 1:9), and taken in different ways (Gen. 14:22; 24:2; 2 Chr. 6:22). God is represented as taking an oath (Heb. 6:16-18), so also Christ (Matt. 26:64), and…
The principle on which an oath is held to be binding is incidentally laid down in (Hebrews 6:16) viz. as an ultimate appeal to divine authority to ratify an assertion. On the same principle, that oath has always been held most binding which appealed to the highest authority, as regards both individuals and communities. As a consequence of this principle, appeals to God’s name on the one hand, and to heathen deities on the other, are treated in scripture as tests of allegiance.

ov:
(1) In Anglo-Saxon, had the meaning "from," "away from" (as the strengthened form "off" has still), and was not used for genitive or possessive relations, these being expressed by special case-forms. In the Norman period, however, "of" was taken to represent the French de (a use well developed by the time of Chaucer), and in the Elizabethan period both senses of "of" were in common use.

OF, preposition ov. [Gr.]
1. From or out of; proceeding from, as the cause, source, means, author or agent bestowing.

That holy thing that shall be born of thee. Luke 1:1.
Hence of is the sign of the genitive case, the case that denotes production; as the son of man, the son proceeding from man, produced from man. This is the primary sense, although we now say, produced by man. 'Part of these were slain; ' that is, a number separate, for part denotes a division; the sense then is, a number from or out of the whole were slain. So also, 'some of these were slain; ' that is…
