Numbers 5
1. And the LORD spake * unto Moses,saying * ,
2. 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:
3. 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 * .
4. 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.
5. And the LORD spake * unto Moses,saying * ,
6. 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 * ;
7. 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 * .
8. 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.
9. And every offering of all the holy things of the children of Israel, which they bring * unto the priest, shall be his.
10. And every man's hallowed things shall be his: whatsoever any man giveth * the priest, it shall be his.
11. And the LORD spake * unto Moses, saying * ,
12. Speak * unto the children of Israel, and say * unto them, If any man's wife go aside * , and commit * a trespass against him,
13. 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;
14. 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 * :
15. 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 * .
16. And the priest shall bring her near * , and set * her before the LORD:
17. 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:
18. 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 * :
19. 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 * :
20. 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:
21. 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;
22. 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.
23. And the priest shall write * these curses in a book, and he shall blot * them out with the bitter water:
24. 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.
25. 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:
26. 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.
27. 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.
28. And if the woman be not defiled * , but be clean; then she shall be free * , and shall conceive * seed.
29. This is the law of jealousies, when a wife goeth aside * to another instead of her husband, and is defiled * ;
30. 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.
31. Then shall the man be guiltless * from iniquity, and this woman shall bear * her iniquity.
