In kesubos 30a there is a discussion in the gemmara if one is chayav for the 
grain if one (cv) burns a stack of grain on shabbas/yom kippur,since the person 
is chayav the greater punishment of mitah/kares, and thus pattur of the monetary 
chova for the grain. my question is, why would the owner of the grain have to 
lose out because of a chova/punishiment (chova of his life) to Hashem?

By Yom Kippur kapara inyanim, we are taught that one needs to first clear up the 
chovos one has with ben adam l'chaveiro, and then Hashem will absolve you of the 
chovos you have to him (e.g. forgive you), but here, in the burning-grain 
scenario, it seems just the opposite, namely that the chovos or punishments due 
to Shamayim, come first.......why would that be??

any explanations???
