Then the LORDh3068 spokeh1696 to Mosesh4872, sayingh559,

"Commandh6680 the sonsh1121 of Israelh3478 that they  asendh7971 awayh7971 from the camph4264 everyh3605 leperh6879 and everyoneh3605 having a  bdischargeh2100 and everyoneh3605 who is  cuncleanh2931 because of a dead personh5315.

3

"You shall sendh7971 awayh7971 bothh4480 maleh2145 and femaleh5347; you shall sendh7971 them outsideh413h4480h2351 the camph4264 so that they will not defileh2930 their camph4264 whereh834 I dwellh7931  ain their midsth8432."

4

The sonsh1121 of Israelh3478 didh6213a soh3651 and senth7971 them outsideh413h4480h2351 the camph4264; justh3512c as the LORDh3068 had spokenh1696 to Mosesh4872, thush3651 the sonsh1121 of Israelh3478 didh6213a.

5

Then the LORDh3068 spokeh1696 to Mosesh4872, sayingh559,

6

"Speakh1696 to the sonsh1121 of Israelh3478, ` aWhenh3588 a manh376 orh176 womanh802 commitsh6213a anyh4480h3605 of the sinsh2403b of mankindh120, actingh4603 unfaithfullyh4604 against the LORDh3068, and that personh5315 is guiltyh816,

7

then  1he shall  aconfessh3034  2his sinsh2403b whichh834  3he has committedh6213a, and he  bshall makeh7725 restitutionh7725 in fullh7218 for his wrongh817 and addh3254 to it one-fifthh2549 of it, and giveh5414 it to him whomh834 he has wrongedh816.

8

`But ifh518 the manh376 hash369 noh369  1relativeh1350 to whom restitutionh7725 may be madeh7725 for the wrongh817, the restitutionh7725 which is madeh7725 for the wrongh817 must go to the LORDh3068 for the priesth3548, besidesh4480h905 the ramh352c of atonementh3725, by whichh834 atonementh3722a is madeh3722a for him.

9

aAlso everyh3605  1contributionh8641 pertaining to allh3605 the holyh6944 gifts of the sonsh1121 of Israelh3478, whichh834 they offerh7126 to the priesth3548, shall be his.

10

`So everyh376 man'sh376 holyh6944 gifts shall be his; whateverh834 anyh376 manh376 givesh5414 to the priesth3548, it  abecomesh1961 his.' "

11

Then the LORDh3068 spokeh1696 to Mosesh4872, sayingh559,

12

"Speakh1696 to the sonsh1121 of Israelh3478 and sayh559 to them, `Ifh3588 anyh376 man'sh376 wifeh802  agoesh7847 astrayh7847 and is unfaithfulh4604 to him,

13

and a manh376 hash7901  aintercourseh2233h7902 with her and it is hiddenh5956 from the eyesh5869 of her husbandh376 and she is  1undetectedh5641, although she has defiledh2930 herselfh1931, and thereh369 is noh369 witnessh5707 against her and she has not been caughth8610 in the act,

14

 1if a spirith7307 of  ajealousyh7068 comesh5674a overh5921 him and he is jealoush7065 of his wifeh802 when she has defiledh2930 herself, orh176 if a spirith7307 of jealousyh7068 comesh5674a overh5921 him and he is jealoush7065 of his wifeh802 when she has not defiledh2930 herself,

15

the manh376 shall then bringh935 his wifeh802 to the priesth3548, and shall bringh935 as  1an offeringh7133a for her one-tenthh6224 of an  2ephahh374 of barleyh8184 mealh7058; he shall not pourh3332 oilh8081 on it norh3808 puth5414 frankincenseh3828 on it, for it is a grain offeringh4503 of jealousyh7068, a grain offeringh4503 of memorialh2146,  aa reminderh2142 of iniquityh5771.

16

`Then the priesth3548 shall bringh7126 her nearh7126 and have her standh5975 beforeh6440 the LORDh3068,

17

and the priesth3548 shall takeh3947 holyh6918 waterh4325 in an earthenwareh2789 vesselh3627; and  1he shall takeh3947 someh4480 of the dusth6083 that is on the floorh7172 of the tabernacleh4908 and puth5414 it into the waterh4325.

18

`The priesth3548 shall then have the womanh802 standh5975 beforeh6440 the LORDh3068 and leth6544a the hair of the woman'sh802 headh7218 goh6544a looseh6544a, and placeh5414 the grain offeringh4503 of memorialh2146  1in her handsh3709, whichh1931 is the grain offeringh4503 of jealousyh7068, and in the handh3027 of the priesth3548 is to be the waterh4325 of bitternessh4751 that bringsh779 a curseh779.

19

`The priesth3548 shall have her takeh7650 an oathh7650 and shall sayh559 to the womanh802, "Ifh518 noh3808 manh376 has lainh7901 with you and ifh518 you have not  agoneh7847 astrayh7847 into uncleannessh2932a, being underh8478 the authority of your husbandh376, be  1immuneh5352 to thish428 waterh4325 of bitternessh4751 that bringsh779 a curseh779;

20

ifh3588 you, however, have  agoneh7847 astrayh7847, being underh8478 the authority of your husbandh376, and ifh3588 you have defiledh2930 yourself and a manh376 otherh1107 thanh1107 your husbandh376 hash5414 hadh5414 intercourseh7903 with you"

21

(then the priesth3548 shall have the womanh802  aswearh7650 with the oathh7621 of the curseh423, and the priesth3548 shall sayh559 to the womanh802), "the LORDh3068 makeh5414 you a curseh423 and an oathh7621 amongh8432 your peopleh5971a by the LORD'Sh3068 makingh5414 your thighh3409  1wasteh5307 awayh5307 and your abdomenh990 swellh6639;

22

and thish428 waterh4325 that bringsh779 a curseh779 shall goh935 into your  1stomachh4578, and make your abdomenh990 swellh6638 and your thighh3409  2wasteh5307 awayh5307." And the womanh802  ashall sayh559, "Amenh543. Amenh543."

23

`The priesth3548 shall then writeh3789 theseh428 cursesh423 on a scrollh5612, and he shall  1washh4229a them offh4229a into the waterh4325 of bitternessh4751.

24

`Then he shall make the womanh802 drinkh8248 the waterh4325 of bitternessh4751 that bringsh779 a curseh779, so that the waterh4325 which bringsh779 a curseh779 will goh935 into her  1and cause bitternessh4751.

25

`The priesth3548 shall takeh3947 the grain offeringh4503 of jealousyh7068 from the woman'sh802 handh3027, and he shall waveh5130 the grain offeringh4503 beforeh6440 the LORDh3068 and bringh7126 it to the altarh4196;

26

and  athe priesth3548 shall takeh7061 a handfulh7061 of the grain offeringh4503 as its memorialh234 offeringh234 and offerh6999 it up in smokeh6999 on the altarh4196, and afterwardh310 he shall make the womanh802 drinkh8248 the waterh4325.

27

`When he has made her drinkh8248 the waterh4325, then it shall comeh1961 about, ifh518 she has defiledh2930 herself and has beenh4603 unfaithfulh4604 to her husbandh376, that the waterh4325 which bringsh779 a curseh779 will goh935 into her  1and cause bitternessh4751, and her abdomenh990 will swellh6638 and her thighh3409 will  2wasteh5307 awayh5307, and the womanh802 will becomeh1961  aa curseh423 amongh7130 her peopleh5971a.

28

`But ifh518 the womanh802 has not defiledh2930 herself and is cleanh2889, she will then be freeh5352 and conceiveh2232  1childrenh2233.

29

`Thish2088 is the lawh8451 of jealousyh7068: whenh834 a wifeh802, being underh8478 the authority of her husbandh376,  agoesh7847 astrayh7847 and defilesh2930 herself,

30

orh176 whenh834 a spirith7307 of jealousyh7068 comesh5674a overh5921 a manh376 and he is jealoush7065 of his wifeh802, he shall then make the womanh802 standh5975 beforeh6440 the LORDh3068, and the priesth3548 shall applyh6213a allh3605 thish2088 lawh8451 to her.

31

`Moreover, the manh376 will be freeh5352 from  1guilth5771, but that womanh802 shall  abearh5375 her  1guilth5771.' "
