It appears to be saying he did something with the tithes, had to pay it back, and he would add a fifth on top of that. Of course, I had 5% in mind and didn't figure it properly.
That is why I said it almost seems like usury.
So, if he has to have it valued, as you and Prax stated, what scripture supports that.
