What must a person who takes a false oath denying a financial obligation and later admits guilt pay?
Halacha 1: One who denies a financial obligation with a false oath and later admits must pay the principal, the added fifth, and bring a guilt offering.
Question 2
A son inherits his father's robbery obligation where the father had taken a false oath but died without admitting. What must the son pay?
Halacha 2: When the son is liable because of his father's actions, he pays only the principal — not the added fifth.
Question 3
Does the added fifth apply when guilt is established through witnesses rather than self-admission?
Halacha 7: A person is not liable for the added fifth unless he himself admits his guilt — if witnesses establish guilt, no fifth is owed.
Question 4
If a robber returns all but a p'rutah of the principal, may he then bring his guilt offering?
Halacha 9: Even if a robber returned all but a p'rutah, he is obligated to bring the remainder to the victim before his guilt offering is valid.
Question 5
A person repeatedly takes false oaths about a single entrusted object. How many guilt offerings does he bring?
Halacha 12: A person who repeatedly takes false oaths about the same entrustment is liable for a guilt offering for each oath taken.
