Leviticus 6:3 Or have found that which was lost, and lieth concerning it, and sweareth falsely; in any of all these that a man doeth, sinning therein: (4) Then it shall be, because he hath sinned, and is guilty, that he shall restore that which he took violently away, or the thing which he hath deceitfully gotten, or that which was delivered him to keep, or the lost thing which he found,
The following is a continuation of sins against people that need confession and recompense.] Lying to one's fellowman in regard to a security: This means to deal falsely or to lie in business transactions or to profit through improper means or to usurp something that is not yours in trade. This is to sin before the Lord, and it should be dealt with in a strict way. Robbing a fellowman: Although this may not happen among the saints, we still have to say something about it.

This kind of conduct must be dealt with. Swearing falsely: It is a sin to swear falsely concerning any material thing. You know something, yet you say that you do not know.
