Clarke's Leviticus 5:5 Bible Commentary
He shall confess that he hath sinned - Even restitution was not sufficient without this confession, because a man might make restitution without being much humbled; but the confession of sin has a direct tendency to humble the soul, and hence it is so frequently required in the Holy Scriptures, as without humiliation there can be no salvation.
Wesley's Leviticus 5:5 Bible Commentary
5:5 In one of these things - In one of the three forementioned cases, either by sinful silence, or by an unclean touch, or by rash swearing.He shall confess - Before the Lord in the place of public worship. And this confession is not to be restrained to the present case, but by a parity of reason, and comparing of other scriptures, to be extended to other sacrifices for sin, to which this was a constant companion.
