And the LORD spake
unto Moses
, saying
,
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 the dead
:
Both 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
.
And 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 LORD spake
unto Moses
, saying
,
Speak 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
;
Then 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
.
But 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.
And every offering of all the holy things
of the children
of Israel
, which they bring
unto the priest
, shall be his.
And every man's hallowed things
shall be his: whatsoever any man
giveth
the priest
, it shall be his.
And the LORD spake
unto Moses
, saying
,
Speak unto the children
of Israel
, and say
unto them, If any
man's
wife
go aside
, and commit
a trespass
against him,
And 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 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
:
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 an offering
of jealousy
, an offering
of memorial
, bringing
iniquity
to remembrance
.
And the priest shall bring her near
, and set
her before
the LORD
:
And 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
:
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
:
And 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
:
But 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
:
Then 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
;
And 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 the priest shall write
these curses
in a book
, and he shall blot
them out with the bitter
water
:
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
.
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
:
And 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 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
.
And if the woman be not defiled
, but be clean
; then she shall be free
, and shall conceive
seed
.
This is the law of jealousies
, when a wife
goeth aside
to another instead of her husband
, and is defiled
;
Or 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
.
Then shall the man be guiltless
from iniquity
, and this
woman
shall bear
her iniquity
.
