| Numbers 5:7 | They shall confess their sin, and restore the principal itself, and the fifth part over and above, to him against whom they have sinned. | Shall confess. This confession and satisfaction, ordained in the old law, was a figure of the sacrament of penance. (Challoner) --- A special confession of their sin, with satisfaction, and a sacrifice, are required. So Christ orders us to lay open our consciences to his priests, John. xx., etc. (Worthington) |
