1 T he Lord said to Moses,

And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying,

2 C ommand the Israelites that they put outside the camp every leper and everyone who has a discharge, and whoever is defiled by the dead.

`Command the sons of Israel, and they send out of the camp every leper, and every one with an issue, and every one defiled by a body;

3 B oth male and female you shall put out; without the camp you shall put them, that they may not defile their camp, in the midst of which I dwell.

from male unto female ye do send out; unto the outside of the camp ye do send them; and they defile not their camps in the midst of which I do tabernacle.'

4 T he Israelites did so, and put them outside the camp; as the Lord said to Moses, so the Israelites did.

And the sons of Israel do so, and they send them out unto the outside of the camp; as Jehovah hath spoken unto Moses so have the sons of Israel done.

5 A nd the Lord said to Moses,

And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying,

6 S ay to the Israelites, When a man or woman commits any sin that men commit by breaking faith with the Lord, and that person is guilty,

`Speak unto the sons of Israel, Man or woman, when they do any of the sins of man, by committing a trespass against Jehovah, and that person guilty,

7 T hen he shall confess the sin which he has committed, and he shall make restitution for his wrong in full, and add a fifth to it, and give it to him whom he has wronged.

and they have confessed their sin which they have done, then he hath restored his guilt in its principal, and its fifth is adding to it, and hath given to him in reference to whom he hath been guilty.

8 B ut if the man has no kinsman to whom the restitution may be made, let it be given to the Lord for the priest, besides the ram of atonement with which atonement shall be made for the offender.

`And if the man have no redeemer to restore the guilt to, the guilt which is restored Jehovah's, the priest's, apart from the ram of the atonements, whereby he maketh atonement for him.

9 A nd every offering of all the holy things of the Israelites which they bring to the priest shall be his.

`And every heave-offering of all the holy things of the sons of Israel, which they bring near to the priest, becometh his;

10 A nd every man’s hallowed things shall be the priest’s; whatever any man gives the priest shall be his.

and any man's hallowed things become his; that which any man giveth to the priest becometh his.'

11 A nd the Lord said to Moses,

And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying,

12 S ay to the Israelites, If any man’s wife goes astray and commits an offense of guilt against him,

`Speak unto the sons of Israel, and thou hast said unto them, When any man's wife turneth aside, and hath committed against him a trespass,

13 A nd a man lies with her carnally, and it is hidden from the eyes of her husband and it is kept secret though she is defiled, and there is no witness against her nor was she taken in the act,

and a man hath lain with her the seed of copulation, and it hath been hid from the eyes of her husband, and concealed, and she hath been defiled, and there is no witness against her, and she hath not been caught,

14 A nd if the spirit of jealousy comes upon him and he is jealous and suspicious of his wife who has defiled herself—or if the spirit of jealousy comes upon him and he is jealous and suspicious of his wife though she has not defiled herself—

and a spirit of jealousy hath passed over him, and he hath been jealous of his wife, and she hath been defiled; -- or, a spirit of jealousy hath passed over him, and he hath been jealous of his wife, and she hath not been defiled --

15 T hen shall the man bring his wife to the priest, and he shall bring the offering required of her, a tenth of an ephah of barley meal; but he shall pour no oil upon it nor put frankincense on it, for it is a cereal offering of jealousy and suspicion, a memorial offering bringing iniquity to remembrance.

`Then hath the man brought in his wife unto the priest, and he hath brought in her offering for her, a tenth of the ephah of barley meal, he doth not pour on it oil, nor doth he put on it frankincense, for it a present of jealousy, a present of memorial, causing remembrance of iniquity.

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

`And the priest hath brought her near, and hath caused her to stand before Jehovah,

17 A nd the priest shall take holy water in an earthen vessel and take some of the dust that is on the floor of the tabernacle and put it in the water.

and the priest hath taken holy water in an earthen vessel, and of the dust which is on the floor of the tabernacle doth the priest take, and hath put into the water,

18 A nd the priest shall set the woman before the Lord, and let the hair of the woman’s head hang loose, and put the meal offering of remembrance in her hands, which is the jealousy and suspicion offering. And the priest shall have in his hand the water of bitterness that brings the curse.

and the priest hath caused the woman to stand before Jehovah, and hath uncovered the woman's head, and hath given into her hands the present of the memorial, it a present of jealousy, and in the hand of the priest are the bitter waters which cause the curse.

19 T hen the priest shall make her take an oath, and say to the woman, If no man has lain with you and if you have not gone astray to uncleanness with another instead of your husband, then be free from any effect of this water of bitterness which brings the curse.

`And the priest hath caused her to swear, and hath said unto the woman, If no man hath lain with thee, and if thou hast not turned aside uncleanness under thy husband, be free from these bitter waters which cause the curse;

20 B ut if you have gone astray and you are defiled, some man having lain with you beside your husband,

and thou, if thou hast turned aside under thy husband, and if thou hast been defiled, and any man doth give his copulation to thee besides thy husband --

21 T hen the priest shall make the woman take the oath of the curse, and say to the woman, The Lord make you a curse and an oath among your people when the Lord makes your thigh fall away and your body swell.

(then the priest hath caused the woman to swear with an oath of execration, and the priest hath said to the woman) -- Jehovah doth give thee for an execration, and for a curse, in the midst of thy people, in Jehovah's giving thy thigh to fall, and thy belly to swell,

22 M ay this water that brings the curse go into your bowels and make your body swell and your thigh fall away. And the woman shall say, So let it be, so let it be.

and these waters which cause the curse have gone into thy bowels, to cause the belly to swell, and the thigh to fall; and the woman hath said, Amen, Amen.

23 T he priest shall then write these curses in a book and shall wash them off into the water of bitterness;

`And the priest hath written these execrations in a book, and hath blotted out with the bitter waters,

24 A nd he shall cause the woman to drink the water of bitterness that brings the curse, and the water that brings the curse shall enter into her bitterly.

and hath caused the woman to drink the bitter waters which cause the curse, and the waters which cause the curse have entered into her for bitter things.

25 T hen the priest shall take the cereal offering of jealousy and suspicion out of the woman’s hand and shall wave the offering before the Lord and offer it upon the altar.

`And the priest hath taken out of the hand of the woman the present of jealousy, and hath waved the present before Jehovah, and hath brought it near unto the altar;

26 A nd the priest shall take a handful of the cereal offering as the memorial portion of it and burn it on the altar, and afterward shall cause the woman to drink the water.

and the priest hath taken a handful of the present, its memorial, and hath made perfume on the altar, and afterwards doth cause the woman to drink the water:

27 A nd when he has made her drink the water, then if she is defiled and has committed a trespass against her husband, the curse water which she drank shall be bitterness and cause her body to swell and her thigh to fall away, and the woman shall be a curse among her people.

yea, he hath caused her to drink the water, and it hath come to pass, if she hath been defiled, and doth commit a trespass against her husband, that the waters which cause the curse have gone into her for bitter things, and her belly hath swelled, and her thigh hath fallen, and the woman hath become an execration in the midst of her people.

28 B ut if the woman is not defiled and is clean, then she shall be free and be able to have children.

`And if the woman hath not been defiled, and is clean, then she hath been acquitted, and hath been sown seed.

29 T his is the law of jealousy and suspicion when a wife goes aside to another instead of her husband and is defiled,

`This the law of jealousies, when a wife turneth aside under her husband, and hath been defiled,

30 O r when the spirit of jealousy and suspicion comes upon a man and he is jealous and suspicious of his wife; then shall he set the woman before the Lord, and the priest shall execute on her all this law.

or when a spirit of jealousy passeth over a man, and he hath been jealous of his wife, then he hath caused the woman to stand before Jehovah, and the priest hath done to her all this law,

31 T he shall be free from iniquity and guilt, and that woman shall bear her iniquity.

and the man hath been acquitted from iniquity, and that woman doth bear her iniquity.'
