9078. 'According to all that has been imposed on him' means according to the nature of the affection for evil springing from the understanding. This is clear from what has just been stated about expiation and redemption; for evil which had been seen in the understanding and not restrained was that which had to be expiated and redeemed by something equivalent answering to it, thus redeemed according to the nature of the affection for evil springing from the understanding.
