King James Version
Then
the LORD said
to
Moses,
And
the LORD spake
unto
Moses, saying,
“
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.
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 :
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
. ”
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.
So
the Israelites
did this
, sending
such
people
outside
the camp .
They
did
just
as the LORD had
instructed
Moses.
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 said
to
Moses,
And the LORD spake
unto
Moses, saying,
“Tell
the Israelites
that
when a man or woman acts
unfaithfully
against
the
LORD
by
committing
any sin against another
, that person is
guilty
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 ;
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
.
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 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.
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.
Every sacred
contribution
the Israelites
bring to
the priest shall belong
to
him
.
And
every offering
of
all
the holy
things
of
the
children
of
Israel,
which
they
bring unto
the priest ,
shall be
his
.
Each
man’s
sacred
gifts
are
his own,
but
whatever
he
gives
to
the
priest
will
belong
to
the priest. ”
And
every
man's
hallowed
things
shall
be
his :
whatsoever
any
man
giveth
the priest ,
it
shall
be
his
.
Then
the LORD said
to
Moses,
And
the LORD spake
unto
Moses, saying,
“
Speak to
the Israelites
and tell
them that
if any man’s
wife goes
astray
and is
unfaithful
to
him
Speak unto
the children
of
Israel,
and say
unto
them ,
If any man's
wife go
aside,
and commit
a
trespass
against
him ,
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
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 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—
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 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.
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
.
The priest is
to
bring the
wife
forward
and have
her stand
before the LORD .
And
the priest shall
bring her
near,
and set
her before the LORD :
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
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 :
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
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 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 .
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 you
have
gone astray
while
under
your
husband’s
authority
and have
defiled yourself
and lain carnally
with a
man
other
than
your
husband ’—
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 :
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 .
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 ;
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
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 on
a scroll
and wash
them off
into
the bitter water .
And the priest shall write these curses in
a book,
and he
shall
blot
them out
with
the bitter water :
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
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.
The priest shall take from
her
hand
the grain
offering
for
jealousy, wave it
before the LORD, and bring
it to
the altar .
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 :
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
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.
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
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.
But
if the woman has
not defiled herself
and
is
clean
, she will
be unaffected
and able
to
conceive children
.
And
if the woman be
not defiled, but
be
clean;
then
she shall
be free,
and shall
conceive seed
.
This is the law of jealousy
when a wife goes
astray
and
defiles
herself
while
under
her husband’s
authority
,
This is the law of jealousies,
when a wife goeth
aside
to
another
instead
of
her husband
, and
is
defiled;
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.
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.
The husband
will
be free
from guilt
, but
the
woman shall bear her iniquity. ”
Then
shall
the man
be guiltless
from iniquity
, and
this
woman shall bear her iniquity.
