‏ Numbers 5

CHAPTER 5

Separation of the Unclean

1And the lord spoke to Moses, saying, 2Assign to the sons of Israel, and let them send out from the camp every leper, and every one having gonorrhea, and every one unclean from a dead soul! 3from male unto female you send them  outside the camp! for in no way shall they defile   their camp in which I occupy among them. 4And [⁴did ⁵thus ¹the ²sons ³of Israel]. And they sent them outside the camp as the lord said to  Moses -- thus [⁴did ¹the ²sons ³of Israel]. 5And the lord spoke to Moses, saying, 6Speak to the sons of Israel! saying, A man or woman, who ever should commit of all the sins of mankind, and ignoring should ignore, and [²should trespass   ¹that soul], 7he should declare openly the sin which he did, and shall give for the trespass offering  the total sum, and the fifth part of it he shall add unto it, and shall give back to whomever he trespassed against  him. 8But if there might not be to the man   acting as next of kin, so as to give to him satisfaction  for the trespass offering, let the trespass offering, the one being given be to the lord -- [²for the ³priest ¹it shall be], besides the ram of the atonement, by which he shall atone with it for him. 9And every first-fruit of all the things having been sanctified among the sons of Israel, as many as they should offer to the lord, [²for the ³priest ⁴himself ¹will be]. 10And the things of each man  having been sanctified it will be his; and a man, who ever should give anything  to the priest, to him it will be his.

The Law of Jealousy

11And the lord spoke to Moses, saying, 12Speak to the sons of Israel! and you shall say to them, The man, a man if [²should violate   ¹his wife], and in overlooking should ignore him, 13and anyone should go to bed with her in the marriage-bed of semen, and it should be unaware from the eyes   of her husband, and she should hide it, and herself should be defiled, and [²witness ¹there should be no] against her, and she should not be conceived; 14and there should come upon him a spirit of jealousy, and he should be jealous   of his wife, and she be defiled; or there should come upon him a spirit of jealousy and he should be jealous   of his wife, and she should not be defiled; 15then [³shall lead ¹the ²man]   his wife to the priest, and he shall bring the gift for her, the tenth of the ephah of flour of barley; he shall not pour upon it olive oil, nor shall he place upon it frankincense; for it is a sacrifice for jealousy, a sacrifice of memorial, calling to mind sin. 16And [³shall bring ⁴her ¹the ²priest], and stand her before the lord. 17And [³shall take ¹the ²priest ⁶water ⁴clean ⁵living] in [²receptacle ¹an earthenware], and some of the earth   being upon the floor of the tent of the testimony; and taking it, the priest shall put it into the water. 18And [³shall stand ¹the ²priest] the woman before the lord, and he shall uncover the head of the woman, and he shall give unto   her hands the sacrifice   of memorial, the sacrifice   of jealousy; but in the hand of the priest will be the water   of rebuke, the one accursing this. 19And [³shall adjure ⁴her ¹the ²priest], and he shall say to the woman, If no one has gone to bed with you, if you have not violated to be defiled being under   [²husband   ¹your own], be innocent from [²by the ³water   ⁴of rebuke   ¹this accursing]! 20But if [²you ³violated ¹being married], or were defiled, and any gave   of his marriage-bed with you, besides   your husband; 21then [³shall bind ¹the ²priest] the woman by the oaths   of this imprecation. And [³shall say ¹the ²priest] to the woman, May [²appoint ³you ¹the lord] to a curse and solemn affirmation in the midst   of your people, in the lord giving   of your thigh to miscarry, and   your belly to bloat; 22and [³shall enter   ²water   ¹this accursing] into   your belly to bloat pregnant and to miscarry by your thigh. And [³shall say ¹the ²woman], May it be. May it be. 23And [³shall write ¹the ²priest]   these imprecations on a scroll, and shall wipe them away in the water of the rebuke of the accursing. 24And he shall give to drink to the woman the water of the rebuke of the accursing; and shall enter into her the water of the rebuke of the accursing. 25And [³shall take ¹the ²priest] from out of the hand of the woman the sacrifice   of jealousy, and shall place the sacrifice before the lord. And he shall bring her unto the altar. 26And [³shall grab ¹the ²priest] from the sacrifice   as a memorial of it, and he shall offer it upon the altar; and after these things  he will cause [³to drink ¹the ²woman] the water. 27And it shall be if she should be defiled, and in forgetfulness [²should be unaware   ¹her husband], then shall enter into her the water   of rebuke   of accursing, and [³shall bloat ¹the ²belly], and [²shall miscarry   ¹her thigh]. And [³will be ¹the ²woman] for a curse   to her people. 28But if [³should not ⁴be defiled ¹the ²woman], and should be clean, then she will be innocent, and shall produce offspring of semen. 29This is the law of the jealousy in which ever [³should violate   ¹a woman ²being married] and should be defiled; 30or a man who ever should have [³come ⁴upon ⁵him ¹a spirit ²of jealousy], and should be jealous   of his wife, and should stand   his wife before the lord, then [³shall do ⁴to her ¹the ²priest] all   this law. 31And [³will be innocent ¹the ²man] from sin. And that woman shall take the sin on herself.
