1 A nd the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:

Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,

2 “ Command the children of Israel that they put out of the camp every leper, everyone who has a discharge, and whoever becomes defiled by a corpse.

“Command 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 Y ou shall put out both male and female; you shall put them outside the camp, that they may not defile their camps in the midst of which I dwell.”

Both you shall put male and female outside of the camp; that they not defile their camp, in the middle of which I dwell.”

4 A nd the children of Israel did so, and put them outside the camp; as the Lord spoke to Moses, so the children of Israel did. Confession and Restitution

The children of Israel did so, and put them outside of the camp; as Yahweh spoke to Moses, so did the children of Israel.

5 T hen the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,

Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,

6 “ Speak to the children of Israel: ‘When a man or woman commits any sin that men commit in unfaithfulness against the Lord, and that person is guilty,

“Speak 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 t hen he shall confess the sin which he has committed. He shall make restitution for his trespass in full, plus one-fifth of it, and give it to the one he has wronged.

then 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 B ut if the man has no relative to whom restitution may be made for the wrong, the restitution for the wrong must go to the Lord for the priest, in addition to the ram of the atonement with which atonement is made for him.

But 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 E very offering of all the holy things of the children of Israel, which they bring to the priest, shall be his.

Every heave offering of all the holy things of the children of Israel, which they present to the priest, shall be his.

10 A nd every man’s holy things shall be his; whatever any man gives the priest shall be his.’” Concerning Unfaithful Wives

Every man’s holy things shall be his: whatever any man gives the priest, it shall be his.’”

11 A nd the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,

Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,

12 “ Speak to the children of Israel, and say to them: ‘If any man’s wife goes astray and behaves unfaithfully toward him,

“Speak to the children of Israel, and tell them: ‘If any man’s wife goes astray, and is unfaithful to him,

13 a nd a man lies with her carnally, and it is hidden from the eyes of her husband, and it is concealed that she has defiled herself, and there was no witness against her, nor was she caught—

and 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 i f the spirit of jealousy comes upon him and he becomes jealous of his wife, who has defiled herself; or if the spirit of jealousy comes upon him and he becomes jealous of his wife, although she has not defiled herself—

and 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 t hen the man shall bring his wife to the priest. He shall bring the offering required for her, one-tenth of an ephah of barley meal; he shall pour no oil on it and put no frankincense on it, because it is a grain offering of jealousy, an offering for remembering, for bringing iniquity to remembrance.

then the man shall bring his wife to the priest, and shall bring her offering for her: one tenth 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 ‘ And the priest shall bring her near, and set her before the Lord.

The priest shall bring her near, and set her before Yahweh;

17 T he 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 into the water.

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 T hen the priest shall stand the woman before the Lord, uncover the woman’s head, and put the offering for remembering in her hands, which is the grain offering of jealousy. And the priest shall have in his hand the bitter water that brings a curse.

The 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 A nd the priest shall put her under oath, and say to the woman, “If no man has lain with you, and if you have not gone astray to uncleanness while under your husband’s authority, be free from this bitter water that brings a curse.

The 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 B ut if you have gone astray while under your husband’s authority, and if you have defiled yourself and some man other than your husband has lain with you”—

But 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 t hen the priest shall put the woman under the oath of the curse, and he shall say to the woman—“the Lord make you a curse and an oath among your people, when the Lord makes your thigh rot and your belly swell;

then 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 a nd may this water that causes the curse go into your stomach, and make your belly swell and your thigh rot.” ‘Then the woman shall say, “Amen, so be it.”

and 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 ‘ Then the priest shall write these curses in a book, and he shall scrape them off into the bitter water.

“‘The priest shall write these curses in a book, and he shall blot them out into the water of bitterness.

24 A nd he shall make the woman drink the bitter water that brings a curse, and the water that brings the curse shall enter her to become bitter.

He 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 T hen the priest shall take the grain offering of jealousy from the woman’s hand, shall wave the offering before the Lord, and bring it to the altar;

The 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 a nd the priest shall take a handful of the offering, as its memorial portion, burn it on the altar, and afterward make the woman drink the water.

The 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 W hen he has made her drink the water, then it shall be, if she has defiled herself and behaved unfaithfully toward her husband, that the water that brings a curse will enter her and become bitter, and her belly will swell, her thigh will rot, and the woman will become a curse among her people.

When 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 B ut if the woman has not defiled herself, and is clean, then she shall be free and may conceive children.

If the woman isn’t defiled, but is clean; then she shall be free, and shall conceive offspring.

29 ‘ This is the law of jealousy, when a wife, while under her husband’s authority, goes astray and defiles herself,

“‘This is the law of jealousy, when a wife, being under her husband, goes astray, and is defiled;

30 o r when the spirit of jealousy comes upon a man, and he becomes jealous of his wife; then he shall stand the woman before the Lord, and the priest shall execute all this law upon her.

or 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 T hen the man shall be free from iniquity, but that woman shall bear her guilt.’”

The man shall be free from iniquity, and that woman shall bear her iniquity.’”
