And Jehovah spoke to▵ Moses, saying,
2
Command the sons of Israel, that they send··out from the camp every leper, and everyone that has··a··flow, and everyone who is unclean on account of a soul*;
3
from male even··to female you shall send··out, to▵ outside the camp you shall send them; that they defile not their camp, in the midst of which I◦ abide◦.
4
And the sons of Israel did so, and sent· them ·out, to▵ outside the camp; as◦ Jehovah spoke to▵ Moses, so did the sons of Israel.
5
And Jehovah spoke to▵ Moses, saying,
6
Speak to▵ the sons of Israel, When◦ a man◦ or woman shall do any sin of man, trespassing for a trespass against◦ Jehovah, and that◦ soul be··guilty;
7
and they shall confess their sin which they have done; and he shall return his guilt with its principal◦, and add onto◦ it the fifth part of it, and give it to him against whom he is held··as··guilty.
8
But if the man◦ have◦ no redeemer to turn··back the guilt to▵ him, let the guilt be turned··back to Jehovah, to the priest; apart from the ram of the atonements, by which an atonement· shall be ·made for him.
9
And every uplifting◦ of◦ all the holy things of the sons of Israel, which they offer to the priest, shall be his.
10
And every man’s◦ holy things shall be his; whatever▵ any man◦ gives to the priest, it shall be his.
11
And Jehovah spoke to▵ Moses, saying,
12
Speak to▵ the sons of Israel, and say to▵ them, to each◦ man◦*, If▫ his wife deviate, and trespass a trespass against◦ him,
13
and a man◦ lie with◦ her, lying··down with seed, and it be hidden◦ from the eyes of her husband◦, and be hidden, and she◦ be defiled, and there be no witness against◦ her, and she◦ be not caught;
14
and the spirit of jealousy pass over him, and he be··jealous of his wife, and she◦ be defiled; or the spirit of jealousy pass over him, and he be··jealous of his wife, and she◦ be not defiled;
15
then shall the man◦ bring his wife to▵ the priest, and he shall bring her offering for▵ her, the tenth part of the ephah of barley meal; he shall pour not oil on it, nor put◦ frankincense on it; for it◦ is a gift··offering of jealousy, a gift··offering of remembrance, causing iniquity to be remembered.
16
And the priest shall bring· her ·near, and stand her before Jehovah;
17
and the priest shall take holy water in a pottery◦ vessel; and of the dust that is on◦ the floor of the Habitation the priest shall take, and put◦ it into▵ the water;
18
and the priest shall stand the woman before Jehovah, and expose the head of the woman, and put◦ the gift··offering of the remembrance on her palms, it◦ is the gift··offering of jealousy; and in the hand of the priest shall be the bitter water which causes the curse.
19
And the priest shall make her a promise, and say to▵ the woman, If a man◦ has not lain with◦ thee, and if thou hast not deviated to uncleanness with another instead of thy husband◦, thou shalt be··innocent from the bitter water of these curses;
20
but if▫ thou◦ hast deviated to another instead of thy husband◦, and if▫ thou be defiled, and a man◦ has lain with thee besides thy husband◦;
21
and the priest shall promise the woman with the promise of the oath, and the priest shall say to the woman, May Jehovah put◦ thee for an oath and for a curse* in the midst of thy people, when Jehovah causes* thy thigh to fall in*, and thy belly to swell;
22
and the waters that cause these curses shall come into thy bowels, to make the belly swell, and the thigh to fall in; and the woman shall say, Amen, amen.
23
And the priest shall write these oaths in a book, and he shall wipe· them ·away in▵ the bitter waters;
24
and he shall give· the woman the bitter water ·to··drink◦ that causes the curse; and the water that causes the curse shall come··into her, to become bitter.
25
And the priest shall take the gift··offering of jealousy out··of the woman’s hand, and shall wave the gift··offering before Jehovah, and offer it at▵ the altar;
26
and the priest shall take··a··handful from the gift··offering, a memorial of it, and burn· it ·as··incense upon the altar, and after this he shall give· the woman the water ·to··drink◦.
27
And he shall give· her a ·drink◦ of the water, and it shall be, if she be defiled, and have trespassed a trespass against her husband◦, that the water that causes the curse shall come into her as bitter, and her belly shall swell, and her thigh shall fall in; and the woman shall be for an oath among her people.
28
And if the woman be not defiled, but be clean, then she◦ shall be··innocent, and shall be sown with seed.
29
This is the law of jealousies, when▵ a wife has deviated to another instead of her husband◦, and is defiled;
30
or a man◦, when▵ the spirit of jealousy pass upon him, and he be··jealous over his wife, and shall stand the woman before Jehovah, and the priest shall make upon her all this law.
31
And the man◦ shall be··innocent from iniquity, and this◦ woman shall bear her iniquity.
