In maths: a deposit ADDS to the account balance (balance 100, deposit 30, new balance 130); a deposit on a purchase is subtracted from the full price to find what is still owed (price 200, deposit 50, still to pay 150). ## In Jewish tradition In this law it means something a person keeps safe for a neighbor. **Interpretation.** The law says that if someone lies about a deposit, he sins against God as well as against his neighbor. Tradition teaches that honesty in money matters is a duty to God. ### Examples - If any one sin, and commit a trespass against the LORD, and deal falsely with his neighbour in a matter of deposit, or of pledge, or of robbery, or have oppressed his neighbour; (Torah LEV.6.2, JPS 1917) [tree →](https://mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/dictionaries/judaism/D/deposit/#x1) - And when he came to the hill, he took them from their hand, and deposited them in the house; and he let the men go, and they departed.
