NU-5:1 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
NU-5:2 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:
NU-5:3 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.
NU-5:4 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.
NU-5:5 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
NU-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;
NU-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 hath
trespassed.
NU-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.
NU-5:9 And every offering of all the holy things of the
children of Israel,
which they bring unto the priest, shall be his.
NU-5:10 And every man's hallowed things shall be his:
whatsoever any man
giveth the priest, it shall be his.
NU-5:11 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
NU-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,
NU-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];
NU-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:
NU-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.
NU-5:16 And the priest shall bring her near, and set her before
the LORD:
NU-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:
NU-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
causeth the curse:
NU-5:19 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:
NU-5:20 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:
NU-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 thee a curse
and an oath
among thy people, when the LORD doth make thy thigh to rot, and
thy belly to
swell;
NU-5:22 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.
NU-5:23 And the priest shall write these curses in a book, and
he shall blot
[them] out with the bitter water:
NU-5:24 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.
NU-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:
NU-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.
NU-5:27 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.
NU-5:28 And if the woman be not defiled, but be clean; then she
shall be
free, and shall conceive seed.
NU-5:29 This [is] the law of jealousies, when a wife goeth
aside [to another]
instead of her husband, and is defiled;
NU-5:30 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.
NU-5:31 Then shall the man be guiltless from iniquity, and this
woman shall
bear her iniquity.
