Chapter 5

¹ And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
² Command the children of Israel, that they cast out of the camp every leper, and whosoever hath an issue of seed, or is defiled by the dead:
³ Whether it be man or woman, cast ye them out of the camp, lest they defile it when I shall dwell with you.
⁴ And the children of Israel did so, and they cast them forth without the camp, as the Lord had spoken to Moses.
⁵ And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
⁶ Say to the children of Israel: When a man or woman shall have committed any of all the sins that men are wont to commit, and by negligence shall have transgressed the commandment of the Lord, and offended,
⁷ They shall confess their sin, and restore the principal itself, and the fifth part over and above, to him against whom they have sinned.
⁸ But if there be no one to receive it, they shall give it to the Lord, and it shall be the priest's, besides the ram that is offered for expiation, to be an atoning sacrifice.
⁹ an the firstfruits also, which the children of Israel offer, belong to the priest:
¹⁰ And whatsoever is offered into the sanctuary by every one, and is delivered into the hands of the priest, it shall be his.
¹¹ And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
¹² Speak to the children of Israel, and thou shalt say to them: The man whose wife shall have gone astray, and contemning her husband,
¹³ Shall have slept with another man, and her husband cannot discover it, but the adultery is secret, and cannot be proved by witnesses, because she was not found in the adultery:
¹⁴ If the spirit of jealousy stir up the husband against his wife, who either is defiled, or is charged with false suspicion,
¹⁵ He shall bring her to the priest, and shall offer an oblation for her, the tenth part of a measure of barley meal: he shall not pour oil thereon, nor put frank- incense upon it: because it is a sacrifice of jealousy, and an oblation searching out adultery.
¹⁶ The priest therefore shall offer it, and set it before the Lord.
¹⁷ And he shall take holy water in an earthen vessel, and he shall cast a little earth of the pavement of the tabernacle into it.
¹⁸ And when the woman shall stand before the Lord, he shall uncover her head, and shall, put on her hands the sacrifice of remembrance, and the oblation of jealousy: and he himself shall hold the most bitter waters, whereon he hath heaped curses with execration.
¹⁹ And he shall adjure her, and shall say: If another man hath not slept with thee, and if thou be not defiled by forsaking thy husband's bed, these most bitter waters, on which I have heaped curses, shall not hurt thee.
²⁰ But if thou hast gone aside from thy husband, and art defiled, and hast lain with another man:
²¹ These curses shall light upon thee: The Lord make thee a curse, and an example for all among his people: may he make thy thigh to rot, and may thy belly swell and burst asunder.
²² Let the cursed waters enter into thy belly, and may thy womb swell and thy thigh rot. And the woman shall answer, Amen, amen.
²³ And the priest shall write these curses in a book, and shall wash them out with the most bitter waters, upon which he hath heaped the curses,
²⁴ And he shall give them her to drink. And when she hath drunk them up,
²⁵ The priest shall take from her hand the sacrifice of jealousy, and shall elevate it before the Lord, and shall put it upon the altar: yet so as first,
²⁶ To take a handful of the sacrifice of that which is offered, and burn it upon the altar: and so give the most bitter waters to the woman to drink.
²⁷ And when she hath drunk them, if she be defiled, and having despised her husband be guilty of adultery, the malediction shall go through her, and her belly swelling, her thigh shall rot: and the woman shall be a curse, and an example to all the people.
²⁸ But if she be not defiled, she shall not be hurt, and shall bear children.
²⁹ This is the law of jealousy. If a woman hath gone aside from her husband, and be defiled,
³⁰ And the husband stirred up by the spirit of jealousy bring her before the Lord, and the priest do to her according to all things that are here written:
³¹ The husband shall be blameless, and she shall bear her iniquity.

Chapter 5

¹ And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
² Command the children of Israel, that they put out of the camp every leper, and every one that hath an issue, and whoever is defiled by the dead:
³ Both male and female shall ye put out, without the camp shall ye put them; that they defile not their camps, in the midst of which I dwell.
⁴ And the children of Israel did so, and put them out without the camp: as the LORD spoke to Moses, so did the children of Israel.
⁵ And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
⁶ Speak to the children of Israel, When a man or woman shall commit any sin that men commit, to do a trespass against the LORD, and that person shall be guilty;
⁷ Then they shall confess their sin which they have done: and he shall recompense his trespass with the principal of it, and add to it the fifth part of it, and give it to him against whom he hath trespassed.
⁸ But if the man shall have no kinsman to recompense the trespass to, let the trespass be recompensed to the LORD, even to the priest; besides the ram of the atonement, by which an atonement shall be made for him.
⁹ And every offering of all the holy things of the children of Israel, which they bring to the priest, shall be his.
¹⁰ And every man's hallowed things shall be his: whatever any man giveth to the priest, it shall be his.
¹¹ And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
¹² Speak to the children of Israel, and say to them, If any man's wife shall go astray, and commit a trespass against him,
¹³ And a man shall lie with her carnally, and it shall be hid from the eyes of her husband, and be kept close, and she be defiled, and there be no witness against her, neither she be taken with the manner;
¹⁴ And the spirit of jealousy shall come upon him, and he be jealous of his wife, and she be defiled: or if the spirit of jealousy shall come upon him, and he be jealous of his wife, and she be not defiled:
¹⁵ Then shall the man bring his wife to the priest, and he shall bring her offering for her, the tenth part of an ephah of barley-meal; he shall pour no oil upon it, nor put frankincense upon it; for it is an offering of jealousy, an offering of memorial, bringing iniquity to remembrance.
¹⁶ And the priest shall bring her near, and set her before the LORD:
¹⁷ And the priest shall take holy water in an earthen vessel; and of the dust that is on the floor of the tabernacle the priest shall take, and put it into the water:
¹⁸ And the priest shall set the woman before the LORD, and uncover the woman's head, and put the offering of memorial in her hands, which is the jealousy-offering: and the priest shall have in his hand the bitter water that causeth the curse:
¹⁹ And the priest shall charge her by an oath, and say to the woman, If no man hath lain with thee, and if thou hast not gone aside to uncleanness with another instead of thy husband, be thou free from this bitter water that causeth the curse:
²⁰ But if thou hast gone aside to another instead of thy husband, and if thou art defiled, and some man hath lain with thee besides thy husband:
²¹ Then the priest shall charge the woman with an oath of cursing, and the priest shall say to the woman, The LORD make thee a curse and an oath among thy people, when the LORD doth make thy thigh to perish, and thy belly to swell;
²² And this water that causeth the curse shall go into thy bowels, to make thy belly to swell, and thy thigh to perish. And the woman shall say, Amen, amen.
²³ And the priest shall write these curses in a book, and he shall blot them out with the bitter water:
²⁴ And he shall cause the woman to drink the bitter water that causeth the curse: and the water that causeth the curse shall enter into her, and become bitter.
²⁵ Then the priest shall take the jealousy-offering out of the woman's hand, and shall wave the offering before the LORD, and offer it upon the altar:
²⁶ And the priest shall take a handful of the offering, even the memorial of it, and burn it upon the altar, and afterward shall cause the woman to drink the water.
²⁷ And when he hath made her to drink the water, then it shall come to pass, that, if she is defiled, and hath done trespass against her husband, that the water that causeth the curse shall enter into her, and become bitter, and her belly shall swell, and her thigh shall perish: and the woman shall be a curse among her people.
²⁸ And if the woman is not defiled, but is clean; then she shall be free, and shall conceive seed.
²⁹ This is the law of jealousies, when a wife goeth astray to another instead of her husband, and is defiled;
³⁰ Or when the spirit of jealousy cometh upon him, and he is jealous over his wife, and shall set the woman before the LORD, and the priest shall execute upon her all this law.
³¹ Then shall the man be guiltless from iniquity, and this woman shall bear her iniquity.

Chapter 5

¹ spoke to Moses, saying,
² the children of Israel that they put out of the camp every leper, and everyone who has an issue, and whoever is unclean by the dead.
³ you shall put male and female outside of the camp; that they not defile their camp, in the midst of which I dwell."
⁴ children of Israel did so, and put them out outside of the camp; as Yahweh spoke to Moses, so did the children of Israel.
⁵ spoke to Moses, saying,
⁶ to the children of Israel: 'When a man or woman commits any sin that men commit, so as to trespass against Yahweh, and that soul is guilty;
⁷ he shall confess his sin which he has done, and he shall make restitution for his guilt in full, and add to it the fifth part of it, and give it to him in respect of whom he has been guilty.
⁸ if the man has no kinsman to whom restitution may be made for the guilt, the restitution for guilt which is made to Yahweh shall be the priest's; besides the ram of the atonement, by which atonement shall be made for him.
⁹ heave offering of all the holy things of the children of Israel, which they present to the priest, shall be his.
¹⁰ man's holy things shall be his: whatever any man gives the priest, it shall be his.'"
¹¹ spoke to Moses, saying,
¹² to the children of Israel, and tell them: 'If any man's wife goes astray, and is unfaithful to him,
¹³ a man lies with her carnally, and it is hidden from the eyes of her husband, and is kept close, and she is defiled, and there is no witness against her, and she isn't taken in the act;
¹⁴ the spirit of jealousy comes on him, and he is jealous of his wife, and she is defiled: or if the spirit of jealousy comes on him, and he is jealous of his wife, and she isn't defiled:
¹⁵ the man shall bring his wife to the priest, and shall bring her offering for her: the tenth part of an ephah of barley meal. He shall pour no oil on it, nor put frankincense on it, for it is a meal offering of jealousy, a meal offering of memorial, bringing iniquity to memory.
¹⁶ priest shall bring her near, and set her before Yahweh;
¹⁷ the priest shall take holy water in an earthen vessel; and of the dust that is on the floor of the tabernacle the priest shall take, and put it into the water.
¹⁸ priest shall set the woman before Yahweh, and let the hair of the woman's head go loose, and put the meal offering of memorial in her hands, which is the meal offering of jealousy. The priest shall have in his hand the water of bitterness that brings a curse.
¹⁹ priest shall cause her to swear, and shall tell the woman, "If no man has lain with you, and if you haven't gone aside to uncleanness, being under your husband, be free from this water of bitterness that brings a curse.
²⁰ if you have gone astray, being under your husband, and if you are defiled, and some man has lain with you besides your husband:"
²¹ the priest shall cause the woman to swear with the oath of cursing, and the priest shall tell the woman, "Yahweh make you a curse and an oath among your people, when Yahweh allows your thigh to fall away, and your body to swell;
²² this water that brings a curse will go into your bowels, and make your body swell, and your thigh fall away." The woman shall say, "Amen, Amen."
²³ priest shall write these curses in a book, and he shall blot them out into the water of bitterness.
²⁴ shall make the woman drink the water of bitterness that causes the curse; and the water that causes the curse shall enter into her and become bitter.
²⁵ priest shall take the meal offering of jealousy out of the woman's hand, and shall wave the meal offering before Yahweh, and bring it to the altar.
²⁶ priest shall take a handful of the meal offering, as its memorial, and burn it on the altar, and afterward shall make the woman drink the water.
²⁷ he has made her drink the water, then it shall happen, if she is defiled, and has committed a trespass against her husband, that the water that causes the curse will enter into her and become bitter, and her body will swell, and her thigh will fall away: and the woman will be a curse among her people.
²⁸ the woman isn't defiled, but is clean; then she shall be free, and shall conceive seed.
²⁹ is the law of jealousy, when a wife, being under her husband, goes astray, and is defiled;
³⁰ when the spirit of jealousy comes on a man, and he is jealous of his wife; then he shall set the woman before Yahweh, and the priest shall execute on her all this law.
³¹ man shall be free from iniquity, and that woman shall bear her iniquity.'"

Chapter 5

¹ And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
² Command the children of Israel, that they put out of the camp every leper, and every one that hath an issue, and whosoever is defiled by a dead person:
³ both male and female shall ye put out; outside the camp shall ye put them, that they defile not their camps, in the midst whereof I dwell.
⁴ And the children of Israel did so, and put them outside the camp: as Jehovah had said to Moses, so did the children of Israel.
⁵ And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
⁶ Speak unto the children of Israel, When a man or woman shall commit any of all the sins of man to work unfaithfulness against Jehovah, and that soul is guilty,
⁷ then they shall confess their sin which they have done; and he shall recompense his trespass according to the principal thereof, and shall add unto it the fifth part thereof, and give it unto him against whom he hath trespassed.
⁸ And if the man have no kinsman to recompense the trespass unto, the trespass which is recompensed to Jehovah shall be the priest's, besides the ram of the atonement, wherewith an atonement is made for him.
⁹ And every heave-offering of all the holy things of the children of Israel, which they present unto the priest, shall be his.
¹⁰ And every man's hallowed things shall be his: whatever any man giveth the priest shall be his.
¹¹ And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
¹² Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, If any man's wife go astray, and commit unfaithfulness against him,
¹³ and a man lie with her carnally, and it be hid from the eyes of her husband, and she be defiled in secret, and there be no witness against her, and she have not been caught;
¹⁴ and the spirit of jealousy come upon him, and he be jealous of his wife, and she have been defiled, -- or if the spirit of jealousy come upon him, and he be jealous of his wife, and she have not been defiled,
¹⁵ -- then shall the man bring his wife unto the priest, and he shall bring her offering for her, a tenth part of an ephah of barley-meal; he shall pour no oil upon it, nor put frankincense thereon; for it is an oblation of jealousy, a memorial oblation, bringing iniquity to remembrance.
¹⁶ And the priest shall bring her near, and set her before Jehovah.
¹⁷ And the priest shall take holy water in an earthen vessel; and the priest shall take of the dust that is on the floor of the tabernacle, and put it into the water.
¹⁸ And the priest shall set the woman before Jehovah, and uncover the woman's head, and put the memorial oblation in her hands, which is the jealousy offering; and in the hand of the priest shall be the bitter water that bringeth the curse.
¹⁹ And the priest shall adjure her, and say unto the woman, If no man have lain with thee, and if thou hast not gone astray in uncleanness, in being with another instead of thy husband, be free from this bitter water that bringeth the curse.
²⁰ But if thou hast gone astray to another instead of thy husband, and hast been defiled, and a man other than thy husband have lain with thee,
²¹ -- then the priest shall adjure the woman with the oath of cursing, and the priest shall say unto the woman: Jehovah make thee a curse and an oath among thy people, when Jehovah doth make thy thigh to shrink, and thy belly to swell;
²² and this water that bringeth the curse shall enter into thy bowels, to make the belly to swell, and the thigh to shrink. And the woman shall say, Amen, amen.
²³ And the priest shall write these curses in a book, and shall blot them out with the bitter water,
²⁴ and he shall cause the woman to drink the bitter water that bringeth the curse, that the water that bringeth the curse may enter into her for bitterness.
²⁵ And the priest shall take out of the woman's hand the oblation of jealousy, and shall wave the oblation before Jehovah, and shall present it at the altar.
²⁶ And the priest shall take a handful of the oblation as a memorial thereof, and burn it upon the altar; and afterwards he shall make the woman drink the water.
²⁷ And when he hath made her to drink the water, then it shall come to pass, if she have been defiled, and have committed unfaithfulness against her husband, that the water that bringeth the curse shall enter into her, for bitterness, and her belly shall swell, and her thigh shall shrink; and the woman shall become a curse among her people.
²⁸ But if the woman have not been defiled, and be clean, then she shall be clear, and shall conceive seed.
²⁹ This is the law of jealousies, when a wife goeth astray to another instead of her husband and is defiled,
³⁰ or when the spirit of jealousy cometh upon a man, and he is jealous as regards his wife; then shall he set the woman before Jehovah, and the priest shall do to her according to all this law.

Chapter 5

¹ And the Lord said to Moses,
² Give orders to the children of Israel to put outside the tent-circle every leper, and anyone who has any sort of flow from his body, and anyone who is unclean from the touch of the dead;
³ Male or female they are to be put outside the tent-circle, so that they may not make unclean my resting-place among them.
⁴ So the children of Israel did as the Lord had said to Moses, and put them outside the tent-circle.
⁵ And the Lord said to Moses,
⁶ Say to the children of Israel, If a man or a woman does any of the sins of men, going against the word of the Lord, and is in the wrong;
⁷ Let them say openly what they have done; and make payment for the wrong done, with the addition of a fifth part, and give it to him to whom the wrong was done.
⁸ But if the man has no relation to whom the payment may be made, then the payment for sin made to the Lord will be the priest's, in addition to the sheep offered to take away his sin.
⁹ And every offering lifted up of all the holy things which the children of Israel give to the priest, will be his.
¹⁰ And every man's holy things will be his: whatever a man gives to the priest will be his.
¹¹ And the Lord said to Moses,
¹² Say to the children of Israel, If any man's wife does wrong, sinning against him
¹³ By taking as her lover another man, and keeps it secret so that her husband has no knowledge of it, and there is no witness against her, and she is not taken in the act;
¹⁴ If the spirit of doubt comes into her husband's heart, and he has doubts of his wife, with good cause; or if he has doubts of her without cause:
¹⁵ Then let him take her to the priest, offering for her the tenth part of an ephah of barley meal, without oil or perfume; for it is a meal offering of a bitter spirit, a meal offering keeping wrongdoing in mind.
¹⁶ And the priest will make her come near and put her before the Lord;
¹⁷ And the priest will take holy water in a pot and put in it dust from the floor of the House;
¹⁸ And he will make the woman come before the Lord with her hair loose, and will put the meal offering, the offering of a bitter spirit, in her hands; and the priest will take in his hand the bitter water causing the curse;
¹⁹ And he will make her take an oath, and say to her, If no man has been your lover and you have not been with another in place of your husband, you are free from this bitter water causing the curse;
²⁰ But if you have been with another in place of your husband and have made yourself unclean with a lover:
²¹ Then the priest will put the oath of the curse on the woman, and say to her, May the Lord make you a curse and an oath among your people, sending on you wasting of the legs and disease of the stomach;
²² And this water of the curse will go into your body, causing disease of your stomach and wasting of your legs: and the woman will say, So be it.
²³ And the priest will put these curses in a book, washing out the writing with the bitter water;
²⁴ And he will give to the woman the bitter water for drink; and the bitter water causing the curse will go into her.
²⁵ And the priest will take from her hand the meal offering of doubt, waving it before the Lord, and will take it to the altar;
²⁶ And he will take some of it in his hand, burning it on the altar as a sign, and then he will give the woman the bitter water.
²⁷ And it will be that if the woman has become unclean, sinning against her husband, when she has taken the bitter water it will go into her body, causing disease of the stomach and wasting of the legs, and she will be a curse among her people.
²⁸ But if she is clean she will be free and will have offspring.
²⁹ This is the law for testing a wife who goes with another in place of her husband and becomes unclean;
³⁰ Or for a husband who, in a bitter spirit, has doubts in his heart about his wife; let him take her to the priest, who will put in force this law.
³¹ Then the man will be free from all wrong, and the woman's sin will be on her.
