1 A nd the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,

¶ And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying,

2 C ommand 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 the dead:

Command the sons of Israel that they put out of the camp every leper and every one that has an issue and anyone who is defiled by the dead.

3 b oth male and female shall ye put out, without the camp shall ye put them; that they defile not their camps, in the midst whereof I dwell.

Both male and female shall ye put out; ye shall put them outside the camp; that they not defile the camp of those among whom I dwell.

4 A nd the children of Israel did so, and put them out without the camp: as the Lord spake unto Moses, so did the children of Israel.

And the sons of Israel did so and put them outside the camp; as the LORD spoke unto Moses, so did the sons of Israel.

5 A nd the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,

And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying,

6 S peak unto 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 be guilty;

Speak unto the sons of Israel, When a man or woman shall commit any sin that men commit, to do a trespass against the LORD, and that person is guilty,

7 t hen they shall confess their sin which they have done: and he shall recompense his trespass with the principal thereof, and add unto it the fifth part thereof, and give it unto him against whom he hath trespassed.

then they shall confess their sin which they have done, and he shall recompense his guilt with the principal thereof and add unto it the fifth part thereof and give it unto him against whom he is guilty.

8 B ut if the man have no kinsman to recompense the trespass unto, let the trespass be recompensed unto the Lord, even to the priest; beside the ram of the atonement, whereby an atonement shall be made for him.

But if that man has no redeemer to recompense the trespass unto, let the trespass be recompensed unto the LORD, even to the priest, beside the ram of the reconciliations, whereby reconciliation shall be made for him.

9 A nd every offering of all the holy things of the children of Israel, which they bring unto the priest, shall be his.

And every offering of all the holy things of the sons of Israel, which they bring unto the priest, shall be his.

10 A nd every man’s hallowed things shall be his: whatsoever any man giveth the priest, it shall be his.

And every man’s sanctified things shall be his; likewise whatever any man gives the priest, it shall be his.

11 A nd the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,

¶ And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying,

12 S peak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, If any man’s wife go aside, and commit a trespass against him,

Speak unto the sons of Israel and say unto them, If any man’s wife goes astray and betrays him,

13 a nd a man lie with her carnally, and it 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;

and a man lies with her carnally, and it is hid from the eyes of her husband because she contaminated herself in secret, and there is no witness against her, neither was she taken in the act;

14 a nd the spirit of jealousy come upon him, and he be jealous of his wife, and she be defiled: or if the spirit of jealousy come upon him, and he be jealous of his wife, and she be not defiled:

if a spirit of jealousy should come upon him, and he becomes jealous of his wife, and she is defiled; or if a spirit of jealousy comes upon him, and he becomes jealous of his wife, and she is not defiled,

15 t hen shall the man bring his wife unto 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 thereon; for it is an offering of jealousy, an offering of memorial, bringing iniquity to remembrance.

then shall the man bring his wife unto 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 thereon; for it is a present of jealousy, a present of remembrance, which brings iniquity to memory.

16 A nd the priest shall bring her near, and set her before the Lord:

And the priest shall bring her near and set her before the LORD.

17 a nd the priest shall take holy water in an earthen vessel; and of the dust that is in the floor of the tabernacle the priest shall take, and put it into the water:

Then the priest shall take holy water in an earthen vessel; and of the dust that is in the floor of the tabernacle the priest shall take and put it into the water.

18 a nd 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:

And the priest shall cause the woman to stand before the LORD and shall uncover the woman’s head and put the present of remembrance in her hands, which is the present of jealousy; and the priest shall have in his hand the bitter water that brings the curse.

19 a nd the priest shall charge her by an oath, and say unto the woman, If no man have 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:

And the priest shall charge her by an oath and say unto the woman, If no man has lain with thee, and if thou hast not gone astray from thy husband to uncleanness, thou shalt be clean from this bitter water that brings the curse.

20 b ut if thou hast gone aside to another instead of thy husband, and if thou be defiled, and some man have lain with thee beside thine husband:

But if thou hast gone astray from thy husband and hast defiled thyself and some man has placed seed in thee other than thine husband,

21 t hen the priest shall charge the woman with an oath of cursing, and the priest shall say unto the woman, The Lord make thee a curse and an oath among thy people, when the Lord doth make thy thigh to rot, and thy belly to swell;

(the priest shall charge the woman with an oath of cursing) and the priest shall say unto the woman, Let the LORD make thee a curse and an oath among thy people when the LORD makes thy thigh to fail and thy belly to swell,

22 a nd this water that causeth the curse shall go into thy bowels, to make thy belly to swell, and thy thigh to rot: And the woman shall say, Amen, amen.

and this water that causes the curse shall go into thy bowels and cause thy belly to swell and thy thigh to fail. And the woman shall say, Amen, amen.

23 A nd the priest shall write these curses in a book, and he shall blot them out with the bitter water:

And the priest shall write these curses in a book, and he shall blot them out with the bitter water;

24 a nd 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.

and he shall cause the woman to drink the bitter water that brings the curse, and the water that brings the curse shall enter into her as bitter.

25 T hen 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:

Then the priest shall take the present of jealousy out of the woman’s hand and shall wave the offering before the LORD and offer it before the altar.

26 a nd the priest shall take an handful of the offering, even the memorial thereof, and burn it upon the altar, and afterward shall cause the woman to drink the water.

And the priest shall take a handful of the present, in memory of her, and incense it upon the altar and afterward shall cause the woman to drink the water.

27 A nd when he hath made her to drink the water, then it shall come to pass, that, if she be defiled, and have 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 rot: and the woman shall be a curse among her people.

He shall give her, therefore, the water to drink, and it shall come to pass, that if she is defiled and has betrayed her husband, that the water that works the curse shall enter into her in bitterness, and her belly shall swell, and her thigh shall fail; and that woman shall be a curse among her people.

28 A nd if the woman be not defiled, but be clean; then she shall be free, and shall conceive seed.

But if the woman is not defiled, but is clean; then she shall be free and shall conceive seed.

29 T his is the law of jealousies, when a wife goeth aside to another instead of her husband, and is defiled;

This is the law of jealousies when a woman goes astray, being under the power of her husband, and is defiled;

30 o r when the spirit of jealousy cometh upon him, and he be jealous over his wife, and shall set the woman before the Lord, and the priest shall execute upon her all this law.

or of the husband upon whom a spirit of jealousy comes, and he is jealous over his wife; he shall then present the woman before the LORD, and the priest shall execute in her all this law.

31 T hen shall the man be guiltless from iniquity, and this woman shall bear her iniquity.

And that man shall be free from iniquity, and the woman shall bear her iniquity.
