1 And the LORD spake unto Moses, say­ing, 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: 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. 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. 5 And the LORD spake unto Moses, say­ing, 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; 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. 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. 9 And ev­ery of­fer­ing of all the holy things of the chil­dren of Is­rael, which they bring unto the priest, shall be his. 10 And ev­ery man's hal­lowed things shall be his: what­so­ev­er any man giveth the priest, it shall be his. 11 And the LORD spake unto Moses, say­ing, 12 Speak unto the chil­dren of Is­rael, and say unto them, If any man's wife go aside, and com­mit a tres­pass against him, 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; 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: 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. 16 And the priest shall bring her near, and set her be­fore the LORD: 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: 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: 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: 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: 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; 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. 23 And the priest shall write these curs­es in a book, and he shall blot them out with the bit­ter wa­ter: 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. 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: 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. 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. 28 And if the wom­an be not de­filed, but be clean; then she shall be free, and shall con­ceive seed. 29 This is the law of jeal­ousies, when a wife goeth aside ­to another in­stead of her hus­band, and is de­filed; 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. 31 Then shall the man be guilt­less from in­iq­ui­ty, and this wom­an shall bear her in­iq­ui­ty.
