Berean Standard Bible
And
Jehovah
spake
unto
Moses, saying,
Then
the
LORD
said
to
Moses,
Command the children
of
Israel,
that
they
put
out
of
the camp every
leper
, and
every
one
that
hath
an
issue
, and whosoever
is unclean
by the
dead :
“
Command the Israelites
to
send
away
from
the camp anyone
with
a
skin
disease
, anyone
who
has
a
bodily
discharge
, and anyone
who
is defiled
by a
dead body.
both
male and female shall
ye
put
out,
without
the camp shall
ye
put
them;
that
they defile
not their camp, in
the
midst
whereof
I dwell.
You
must
send
away
male and female alike;
send
them
outside
the camp so
they will
not defile
their camp, where
I dwell among
them
. ”
And
the children
of
Israel
did so
, and
put
them
out
without
the camp ;
as
Jehovah
spake
unto
Moses,
so
did the children
of
Israel
.
So
the Israelites
did this
, sending
such
people
outside
the camp .
They
did just
as
the LORD
had
instructed
Moses
.
And Jehovah
spake
unto
Moses, saying,
And the
LORD
said
to
Moses,
Speak
unto
the children
of
Israel,
When a man or woman shall
commit
any sin that
men
commit,
so
as
to
trespass
against Jehovah
, and
that soul
shall
be
guilty ;
“Tell
the Israelites
that
when a man or woman acts
unfaithfully
against
the
LORD
by
committing
any sin against another
, that person
is
guilty
then
he
shall
confess his
sin which
he hath
done:
and
he shall
make restitution
for
his
guilt
in
full, and
add unto
it
the
fifth part
thereof
, and give it
unto
him
in
respect
of
whom
he hath
been
guilty
.
and
must
confess the
sin he has
committed.
He must
make full restitution
, add a
fifth to
its
value
, and give all
this
to
the
one
he has
wronged
.
But if the man have
no kinsman
to whom restitution may
be made for the guilt
, the restitution for
guilt
which
is
made
unto
Jehovah
shall
be the priest's;
besides
the ram of the
atonement, whereby
atonement shall
be
made for him.
But if the man has
no relative
to whom restitution can
be made for the wrong
, the restitution belongs
to
the
LORD
and
must
be given
to
the priest
along
with
the ram of atonement, by
which
the
atonement is
made for him.
And
every heave-offering
of
all
the
holy
things
of
the children
of
Israel,
which
they
present
unto
the priest ,
shall be
his
.
Every sacred
contribution
the Israelites
bring
to
the priest shall belong
to
him
.
And
every
man's
hallowed
things
shall
be
his :
whatsoever
any
man
giveth
the priest ,
it
shall
be
his
.
Each
man’s
sacred
gifts
are
his own,
but
whatever
he
gives
to
the priest will
belong
to
the
priest
. ”
And
Jehovah
spake
unto
Moses, saying,
Then
the
LORD
said
to
Moses,
Speak unto
the children
of
Israel,
and say
unto
them ,
If any man's
wife go
aside,
and commit
a
trespass
against
him ,
“
Speak to
the Israelites
and tell
them that
if any man’s
wife goes
astray
and is
unfaithful
to
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 ,
and she be
not taken
in the act ;
by
sleeping
with another
man
, and it is
concealed
from her husband and her
impurity
is
undetected
(since
there is
no witness against her and she was
not caught
in the act ),
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 :
and if
a
feeling
of jealousy comes
over
her
husband
and he suspects
his wife who
has
defiled herself—
or if a
feeling
of jealousy comes
over
him and he suspects
her
even
though
she has
not defiled herself—
then shall
the
man
bring his wife unto
the priest ,
and
shall
bring her
oblation
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 a meal-
offering of
jealousy, a
meal-
offering of memorial ,
bringing
iniquity to
remembrance
.
then he
is
to
bring his wife to
the priest .
He
must
also
bring for her an
offering
of
a
tenth of an ephah of barley flour.
He is
not
to
pour oil over
it or
put frankincense on
it ,
because
it
is a grain
offering for
jealousy, an
offering of memorial as
a
reminder
of
iniquity.
And
the priest shall
bring her
near,
and set
her before Jehovah:
The priest is
to
bring the
wife
forward
and have
her stand
before the
LORD.
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.
Then
he
is
to
take some
holy water in a
clay
jar
and put
some
of the dust from
the tabernacle floor
into the water.
And
the priest shall
set
the woman before Jehovah
, 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 :
and
the priest shall
have
in
his
hand
the water of
bitterness
that causeth
the
curse.
After
the priest has
the woman stand
before the
LORD
, he
is
to
let down
her
hair and place
in
her
hands
the grain
offering of memorial, which is the grain
offering for
jealousy .
The priest is
to
hold
the bitter
water that brings
a
curse.
And the
priest
shall
cause
her
to swear,
and
shall
say
unto
the woman, If no man have
lain
with thee,
and if
thou
have not gone aside
to
uncleanness,
being
under thy
husband
, be thou
free
from
this water of
bitterness
that causeth
the
curse.
And he
is
to put
the woman under
oath
and
say
to
her
, ‘
If no other
man has
slept
with you
and you
have not gone astray
and
become
defiled
while
under your
husband’s
authority
, may
you
be immune
to
this bitter
water that brings
a
curse.
But if thou
have gone aside,
being
under thy
husband,
and if
thou
be
defiled ,
and some
man
have
lain with thee
besides
thy
husband :
But if you
have gone astray
while
under your
husband’s
authority
and have
defiled yourself
and lain carnally
with a
man
other
than
your
husband ’—
then
the priest shall cause
the woman to
swear with
the oath of cursing,
and
the priest
shall
say
unto
the woman,
Jehovah
make thee
a
curse
and
an oath
among thy
people ,
when
Jehovah
doth
make
thy
thigh to
fall
away,
and thy
body
to
swell ;
and
the priest shall have
the woman swear under
the oath of the curse—‘then
may
the LORD
make you
an attested
curse
among your
people by
making
your
thigh shrivel
and your
belly
swell .
and
this water that causeth
the
curse shall
go
into
thy
bowels,
and make
thy
body
to swell ,
and thy
thigh to fall
away
. And
the woman shall
say, Amen, Amen.
May
this water that brings
a
curse enter
your
stomach
and cause
your
belly
to swell and your
thigh to shrivel
. ’
Then
the woman is
to
say, ‘
Amen, Amen. ’
And the priest shall write these curses in
a book,
and he
shall
blot
them out
into the water of
bitterness:
And the priest shall write these curses on
a scroll
and wash
them off
into the bitter
water .
and
he shall
make
the woman drink the water of
bitterness
that causeth
the
curse ;
and the
water
that
causeth
the
curse
shall
enter into
her `
and become'
bitter.
He is
to
have
the woman drink the bitter
water that brings
a
curse ,
and it
will
enter her and cause
her
bitter suffering
.
And
the priest shall take the meal-
offering of
jealousy out
of
the
woman's
hand
, and
shall
wave the
meal-offering
before Jehovah
, and bring it unto
the altar :
The priest shall take from
her
hand
the grain
offering for
jealousy, wave it
before the
LORD
, and bring it to
the altar .
and
the priest shall
take a handful of the meal-
offering ,
as the
memorial thereof,
and burn it upon
the altar ,
and
afterward
shall
make
the woman drink the water.
Then
the priest is
to
take a handful of the grain
offering as a
memorial portion
and burn it on
the altar ;
after
that
he
is
to
have
the woman drink the water.
And
when he hath
made her drink the water, then
it
shall
come
to
pass,
if she be
defiled ,
and have
committed
a
trespass
against
her husband, that
the water that causeth
the
curse shall
enter into
her `
and become'
bitter ,
and
her body
shall
swell, and
her thigh shall
fall
away:
and the
woman
shall
be
a
curse
among her people.
When he has
made her drink the water, if she has
defiled herself
and been
unfaithful
to
her husband, then
the water that brings
a
curse will
enter her and cause
bitter suffering;
her belly
will
swell, her thigh will
shrivel,
and she
will
become
accursed
among her people.
And
if the woman be
not defiled ,
but
be
clean ;
then
she shall
be free,
and shall
conceive seed
.
But
if the woman has
not defiled herself
and
is
clean ,
she will
be unaffected
and able
to
conceive children
.
This is the law of jealousy ,
when a wife ,
being
under her husband,
goeth
aside
, and
is
defiled;
This is the law of jealousy when a wife goes
astray
and
defiles
herself
while
under her husband’s
authority
,
or when the
spirit
of jealousy cometh
upon
a man,
and he is
jealous
of
his wife ;
then
shall
he set
the woman before Jehovah
, and the priest shall
execute
upon
her all
this law.
or when a
feeling
of jealousy comes
over
a husband
and he suspects
his wife .
He is
to
have
the woman stand
before the
LORD
, and the priest is
to
apply
to
her this entire
law.
And
the man
shall
be free from iniquity
, and
that
woman shall bear her iniquity.
The husband
will
be free from guilt
, but
the
woman shall bear her iniquity. ”
