**במה דברים אמורים בעבירות שבין אדם לחבירו.** א"א וכן עבירות המפורסמות ומגולות אע"פ שאינן עם חבירו שכמו שנתפרסם החטא כך צריך לפרסם התשובה ויתבייש ברבים:

**Mishnah Torah, Yod ha-hazakah, trans. by Simon Glazer, 1927:**
**But that is saying solely concerning sins between man and man etc**. Likewise concerning known and open sins, though not against man; for even as the sin was public so it is necessary to make the repentance public, and let the sinner feel the disgrace of his misdoings. ¹

footnotes:
¹ The text protects Maimonides against this criticism. That it would be impudent of him to reveal them surely can not refer to publicly known sins. With this difference: Maimonides maintains that sins, even open ones, between man and God, the sinner is not obliged to name publicly when repenting. C. G.
