NUMBERS ยท Chapter 5
5:1 And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying,
5:2 Command the children of Israel, that they put out of the camp every
leper, and every one that has an issue, and whosoever is defiled by the
dead:
5:3 Both male and female shall all of you put out, without the camp
shall all of you put them; that they defile not their camps, in the midst
whereof I dwell.
5:4 And the children of Israel did so, and put them out without the
camp: as the LORD spoke unto Moses, so did the children of Israel.
5:5 And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying,
5:6 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;
5:7 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 has trespassed.
5:8 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.
5:9 And every offering of all the holy things of the children of Israel,
which they bring unto the priest, shall be his.
5:10 And every man's hallowed things shall be his: whatsoever any man
gives the priest, it shall be his.
5:11 And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying,
5:12 Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, If any man's
wife go aside, and commit a trespass against him,
5:13 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;
5:14 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:
5:15 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.
5:16 And the priest shall bring her near, and set her before the LORD:
5:17 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:
5:18 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 causes the curse:
5:19 And the priest shall charge her by an oath, and say unto the woman,
If no man have lain with you, and if you have not gone aside to uncleanness
with another instead of your husband, be you free from this bitter water
that causes the curse:
5:20 But if you have gone aside to another instead of your husband,
and if you be defiled, and some man have lain with you beside your husband:
5:21 Then the priest shall charge the woman with an oath of cursing,
and the priest shall say unto the woman, The LORD make you a curse and
an oath among your people, when the LORD does make your thigh to rot, and
your belly to swell;
5:22 And this water that causes the curse shall go into your bowels,
to make your belly to swell, and your thigh to rot: And the woman shall
say, Amen, amen.
5:23 And the priest shall write these curses in a book, and he shall
blot them out with the bitter water:
5:24 And he shall cause the woman to drink the bitter water that causes
the curse: and the water that causes the curse shall enter into her, and
become bitter.
5:25 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:
5:26 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.
5:27 And when he has 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 causes 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.
5:28 And if the woman be not defiled, but be clean; then she shall
be free, and shall conceive seed.
5:29 This is the law of jealousies, when a wife goes aside to another
instead of her husband, and is defiled;
5:30 Or when the spirit of jealousy comes 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.
5:31 Then shall the man be guiltless from iniquity, and this woman
shall bear her iniquity.
