Verse YLT Young's Literal Translation BSB Berean Standard Bible
And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying,
Then the LORD said to Moses,
` Command the sons of Israel, and they send out of the camp every leper, and every one with an issue , and every one defiled by a body ;
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 .
from male unto female ye do send out ; unto the outside of the camp ye do send them; and they defile not their camps in the midst of which I do tabernacle . '
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 sons of Israel do so , and they send them out unto the outside of the camp ; as Jehovah hath spoken unto Moses so have the sons of Israel done .
So the Israelites did this, sending such people outside the camp . They did just as the LORD had instructed Moses .
And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying,
And the LORD said to Moses,
`Speak unto the sons of Israel, Man or woman , when they do any of the sins of man, by committing a trespass against Jehovah , and that person ` is ' 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
and they have confessed their sin which they have done, then he hath restored his guilt in its principal , and its fifth is adding to it , and hath given `it' to him in reference to 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 .
`And if the man have no redeemer to restore the guilt to , the guilt which is restored `is' Jehovah's, the priest's, apart from the ram of the atonements , whereby he maketh atonement 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 sons of Israel, which they bring near to the priest , becometh his;
Every sacred contribution the Israelites bring to the priest shall belong to him.
and any man's hallowed things become his ; that which any man giveth to the priest becometh his . '
Each man’s sacred gifts are his own, but whatever he gives to the priest will belong to the priest .
And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying,
Then the LORD said to Moses,
` Speak unto the sons of Israel, and thou hast said unto them , When any man's wife turneth aside, and hath committed against him a trespass,
Speak to the Israelites and tell them that if any man’s wife goes astray and is unfaithful to him
and a man hath lain with her ` with ' the seed of copulation , and it hath been hid from the eyes of her husband , and concealed, and she hath been defiled, and there is no witness against her , and she hath not been caught,
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 spirit of jealousy hath passed over him, and he hath been jealous of his wife , and she hath been defiled ; -- or , a spirit of jealousy hath passed over him , and he hath been jealous of his wife, and she hath not been 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 hath the man brought in his wife unto the priest , and he hath brought in her offering for her , a tenth of the ephah of barley meal, he doth not pour on it oil , nor doth he put on it frankincense , for it ` is ' a present of jealousy, a present of memorial , causing remembrance of iniquity.
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 hath brought her near, and hath caused her to stand before Jehovah,
The priest is to bring the wife forward and have her stand before the LORD.
and the priest hath taken holy water in an earthen vessel, and of the dust which is on the floor of the tabernacle doth the priest take, and hath 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 hath caused the woman to stand before Jehovah, and hath uncovered the woman's head , and hath given into her hands the present of the memorial, it ` is ' a present of jealousy, and in the hand of the priest are the bitter waters which cause 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 hath caused her to swear, and hath said unto the woman, If no man hath lain with thee, and if thou hast not turned aside `to' uncleanness under thy husband , be free from these bitter waters which cause 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 thou, if thou hast turned aside under thy husband, and if thou hast been defiled , and any man doth give his copulation to 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 hath caused the woman to swear with an oath of execration, and the priest hath said to the woman) -- Jehovah doth give thee for an execration, and for a curse , in the midst of thy people , in Jehovah's giving thy thigh to fall, and thy belly 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 these waters which cause the curse have gone into thy bowels, to cause the belly to swell , and the thigh to fall; and the woman hath said , 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 hath written these execrations in a book, and hath blotted ` them ' out with the bitter waters,
And the priest shall write these curses on a scroll and wash them off into the bitter water.
and hath caused the woman to drink the bitter waters which cause the curse, and the waters which cause the curse have entered into her for bitter things .
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 hath taken out of the hand of the woman the present of jealousy, and hath waved the present before Jehovah , and hath brought it near 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 hath taken a handful of the present, its memorial , and hath made perfume on the altar , and afterwards doth cause the woman to 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 .
yea, he hath caused her to drink the water, and it hath come to pass, if she hath been defiled , and doth commit a trespass against her husband, that the waters which cause the curse have gone into her for bitter things, and her belly hath swelled , and her thigh hath fallen , and the woman hath become an execration in the midst of 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 hath not been defiled , and is clean, then she hath been acquitted, and hath been sown `with' 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 jealousies, when a wife turneth aside under her husband, and hath been defiled ,
This is the law of jealousy when a wife goes astray and defiles herself while under her husband’s authority ,
or when a spirit of jealousy passeth over a man, and he hath been jealous of his wife , then he hath caused the woman to stand before Jehovah , and the priest hath done to 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 hath been acquitted from iniquity , and that woman doth bear her iniquity. '
The husband will be free from guilt , but the woman shall bear her iniquity.
