Introduction[edit]
Mishnah 9:5 begins a series of Mishnayot interpreting Leviticus 5:21–26 and Numbers 5:6–8.
Hebrew Text[edit]
הגוזל את חברו שוה פרוטה
ונשבע לו,
יוליכנו אחריו אפלו למדי.
לא יתן לא לבנו
ולא לשלוחו,
אבל נותן לשליח בית דין.
ואם מת,
יחזיר ליורשיו.
English Translation[edit]
If one stole from another something worth a perutah
And [nonetheless] swore [that he did not do so],
He must take it to him [even if he needs to go as far as] to Media.
He may give it neither to his son
Nor to his agent,
But he may give it to an agent of the court.
If [the victim] died,
[The thief] must restore it to his heirs.
Explanation[edit]
