What is Restitution?
RESTITU'TION
, an act of justice by which a wrong done is repaired, and that which has been unjustly taken from a person restored to him. The Mosaic Law demanded that, in case of theft, the restitution should be fourfold, and in cases of carelessness the amount was graduated according to guiltiness. Ex 22:1-15.
