1 Jahve reče Mojsiju:

2 "Naredi Izraelcima da iz tabora odstrane svakoga gubavca, svakoga koji imadne izljev i svakoga koji se onečisti mrtvim tijelom.

3 Odstranite i muške i ženske! Izvan tabora ih istjerajte da ne onečiste svoje tabore u kojima ja boravim među njima."

4 Izraelci tako učine: istjeraju ih iz tabora. Kako je Jahve rekao Mojsiju, tako Izraelci učine.

5 Jahve reče Mojsiju:

6 "Kaži Izraelcima: Kad koji čovjek ili žena počini bilo kakav grijeh na štetu čovjeka ogriješivši se protiv Jahve, i osjeti se krivim,

7 neka prizna počinjeni grijeh, nadoknadi štetu što bolje može te još doda tome petinu i dadne onome kome je nanio nepravdu.

8 Ako čovjek ne bi imao bližeg rođaka kome bi se nadoknada mogla uručiti, dužna nadoknada pripada Jahvi za svećenika, ne računajući u to pomirbenoga ovna kojim će svećenik izvršiti nad krivcem obred pomirenja.

9 I svaka podizanica od svih posvećenih stvari što ih Izraelci svećeniku donose njemu pripada.

10 Svakome idu stvari koje je posvetio; i neka svećeniku bude ono što njemu tko dadne."

11 Jahve reče Mojsiju:

12 "Govori Izraelcima i reci im: Ako nekome žena pođe stranputicom te mu se iznevjeri

13 i netko s njom legne, ali to ostane sakriveno očima njezina muža i žena ostane neotkrivena iako se oskvrnula te protiv nje ne bude svjedoka budući da u činu nije bila uhvaćena -

14 i sad muža obuzme duh ljubomore i on postane ljubomoran na svoju ženu koja se oskvrnula; ili ako ga spopadne duh ljubomore te postane ljubomoran na svoju ženu a da se ona nije oskvrnula -

15 neka taj muž dovede svoju ženu svećeniku. Neka za nju donese prinos: desetinu efe ječmenog brašna. Neka po njemu ne polijeva ulja niti na nj stavlja tamjana, jer to je prinosnica za ljubomoru, spomen-prinosnica da podsjeti na grijeh.

16 Neka svećenik povede tu ženu i postavi je pred Jahvu.

17 Sad neka svećenik uzme posvećene vode u kakvu zemljanu posudu i, uzevši prašine što je na podu Prebivališta, neka je svećenik ubaci u vodu.

18 Pošto je svećenik postavio ženu pred Jahvu, neka joj otkrije glavu a na njezine ruke stavi spomen-prinosnicu, to jest žitnu prinosnicu za ljubomoru, s svećenik neka drži u ruci vodu gorčine i prokletstva.

19 Zatim neka svećenik ženu zakune. Neka joj reče: 'Ako nikad čovjek s tobom nije ležao te ako nisi išla stranputicom i oskvrnula se dok si bila pod vlašću svoga muža, budi pošteđena od ove vode gorčine i prokletstva!

20 Ali ako si išla stranputicom dok si bila pod vlašću svoga muža te se oskvrnula; ako je koji čovjek osim tvoga muža legao s tobom ...'

21 Ovdje neka svećenik zakune ženu ovom kletvom: neka joj rekne: Jahve te postavio za prokletstvo i kletvu među tvojim narodom, učinio da ti uvene rodnica i da ti se utroba nadme!

22 Neka ova voda prokletstva zađe u tvoju utrobu! Trbuh ti se od nje naduo, a rodnica uvenula! - A žena neka poprati: Amen! Amen!

23 Potom neka ta prokletstva svećenik napiše na list pa ih ispere u vodu gorčine.

24 Onda neka ženu napoji vodom gorčine i prokletstva, da bi se voda gorčine po njoj razišla i napunila je gorkošću.

25 Neka svećenik onda uzme iz ženine ruke prinosnicu za ljubomoru, prinese je pred Jahvom kao žrtvu prikaznicu te je donese na žrtvenik.

26 Zagrabivši od prinosnice punu pregršt kao spomen-žrtvu, neka to sažeže u kad na žrtveniku. Napokon, neka ženu napoji vodom.

27 Pošto je napoji vodom, bude li oskvrnuta iznevjerivši se svome mužu, voda prokletstva ući će u nju i napunit će je gorčinom; njezina će se utroba naduti a rodnica uvenuti - ta će žena postati prokletstvom u svome narodu.

28 A ako žena ne bude oskvrnuta nego nevina, neće joj biti ništa i imat će djece.

29 To je obred u slučaju ljubomore, kad žena pođe stranputicom i oskvrne se dok je pod vlašću svoga muža;

30 ili kad kojega čovjeka obuzme duh ljubomore te postane ljubomoran na svoju ženu. Neka, dakle, postavi svoju ženu pred Jahvu, a svećenik neka nad njom izvrši sav ovaj obred.

31 Neka je muž slobodan od krivnje, a žena neka snosi svoju krivnju."

9. In a broader sense “the Law” means everything Moses wrote in his five books, as we can see from the following passages. In Luke,

Abraham said to the rich man in hell, “They have Moses and the prophets; let them hear them. If they do not hear Moses and the prophets, they will not be persuaded even if someone rises from the dead.” (Luke 16:29, 31)

In John,

Philip said to Nathanael, “We have found the one of whom Moses in the Law, and also the prophets, wrote.” (John 1:45)

In Matthew,

Do not think that I have come to destroy the Law and the Prophets: I have come not to destroy but to fulfill. (Matthew 5:17-18)

Or again,

All the Prophets and the Law prophesied until John. (Matthew 11:13)

In Luke,

The Law and the Prophets extended to [the time of] John; since then, the Kingdom of God has been proclaimed. (Luke 16:16)

In Matthew,

Whatever you want people to do for you, you do the same for them. This is the Law and the Prophets. (Matthew 7:12)

Or again,

Jesus said, “You are to love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul, and you are to love your neighbor as yourself. On these two commandments hang all the Law and the Prophets.” (Matthew 22:37, 39-40)

In these passages “the Law and the Prophets” and “Moses and the prophets” mean everything written in the books of Moses and in the books of the prophets.

The following passages also show that “the Law” means specifically everything written by Moses. In Luke,

When the days of their purification according to the Law of Moses were completed, they brought Jesus to Jerusalem to present him to the Lord-as it is written in the Law of the Lord, “Every male who opens the womb is to be called holy to the Lord, ”- and to offer a sacrifice according to what is said in the Law of the Lord, “a pair of turtledoves or two young pigeons.” And the parents brought Jesus into the Temple to do for him according to the custom of the Law. When they had completed all things according to the Law of the Lord... (Luke 2:22-24, 27, 39)

In John,

The Law of Moses commanded that people like this should be stoned. (John 8:5)

Or again,

The Law was given through Moses. (John 1:17)

We can see from these passages that sometimes it says “the Law” and sometimes “Moses” when it is talking about whatever is written in his books. See also Matthew 8:4; Mark 10:2-4; 12:19; Luke 20:28, 37; John 3:14; 7:19, 51; 8:17; 19:7.

Then too, many things that are commanded are called the law by Moses-for example, commandments about burnt offerings (Leviticus 6:9; 7:37), sacrifices (Leviticus 6:25; 7:1-11), the meal offering (Leviticus 6:14), leprosy (Leviticus 14:2), jealousy (Numbers 5:29-30), and Naziritehood (Numbers 6:13, 21).

In fact, Moses himself called his books the Law:

Moses wrote this Law and gave it to the priests, the sons of Levi, who carried the ark of the covenant of Jehovah, and said to them, “Take the book of this Law and put it beside the ark of the covenant of Jehovah.” (Deuteronomy 31:9, 25-26)

It was placed beside [the ark]: within the ark were the stone tablets that are “the law” in a strict sense.

Later, the books of Moses are called “the Book of the Law”:

Hilkiah the high priest said to Shaphan the scribe, “I have found the Book of the Law in the house of Jehovah.” When the king heard the words of the Book of the Law, he tore his clothes. (2 Kings 22:8, 11; 23:24)
