Robbers
and lenders on interest who wish to return their illegally acquired
monies to their victims – their victims should not accept the proffered
monies from them, and if one does accept it form them, a spirit of
wisdom and piety does not reside in him.
This
enactment was promulgated by the court of Rabbi Yehudah The Prince, to
make it easier to repent for those who want to do it. It applies only
to long-term transgressors, who can't return all money. Still, they
need to try to return the money, to fulfill their Biblical obligation.
It is a disagreement whether this enactment applies nowadays.
