5:1 And Yehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
5:2 Charge the children of Israel, and let them send forth out of the camp
every leper, and every one who has in issue of the reins, and every one who
is unclean from a dead body.
5:3 Whether male or female, send them forth out of the camp; and they shall
not defile their camps in which I dwell among them.
5:4 And the children of Israel did so, and sent them out of the camp: as the
Lord said to Moses, so did the children of Israel.
5:5 And Yehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
5:6 Speak to the children of Israel, saying, Every man or woman who shall
commit any sin that is common to man, or if that soul shall in anywise have
neglected the commandment and transgressed;
5:7 [that person] shall confess the sin which he has committed, and shall
make satisfaction for his trespass: he [shall pay] the principal, and shall
add to it the fifth part, and shall make restoration to him against whom he
has trespassed.
5:8 But if a man have no near kinsman, so as to make satisfaction for his
trespass to him, the trespass-offering paid to Yehovah shall be for the
priest, besides the ram of atonement, by which he shall make atonement with
it for him.
5:9 And every first-fruits in all the sanctified things among the children
of Israel, whatsoever they shall offer to Yehovah, shall be for the priest
himself.
5:10 And the hallowed things of every man shall be his; and whatever man
shall give [any thing] to the priest, the gift shall be his.
5:11 And Yehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
5:12 Speak to the children of Israel, and thou shalt say to them, Whose
soever wife shall transgress against him, and slight and despise him,
5:13 and [supposing] any one shall lie with her carnally, and the thing
shall be hid from the eyes of her husband, and she should conceal it and be
herself defiled, and there be no witness with her, and she should not be
taken;
5:14 and 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;
5:15 then shall the man bring his wife to the priest, and shall bring his
gift for her, the tenth part of an ephah of barley-meal: he shall not pour
oil upon it, neither shall he put frankincense upon it; for it is a
sacrifice of jealousy, a sacrifice of memorial, recalling sin to
remembrance.
5:16 And the priest shall bring her, and cause her to stand before Yehovah.
5:17 And the priest shall take pure running water in an earthen vessel, and
he shall take of the dust that is on the floor of the tabernacle of witness,
and the priest having taken it shall cast it into the water.
5:18 And the priest shall cause the woman to stand before Yehovah, and
shall uncover the head of the woman, and shall put into her hands the
sacrifice of memorial, the sacrifice of jealousy; and in the hand of the
priest shall be the water of this conviction that brings the curse.
5:19 And the priest shall adjure her, and shall say to the woman, If no one
has lain with thee, and if thou hast not transgressed so as to be polluted,
being under the power of thy husband, be free from this water of the
conviction that causes the curse.
5:20 But if being a married woman thou hast transgressed, or been polluted,
and any one has lain with thee, beside thy husband:
5:21 then the priest shall adjure the woman by the oaths of this curse, and
the priest shall say to the woman, Yehovah bring thee into a curse and
under an oath in the idst of thy people, in that Yehovah should cause thy
thigh to rot and thy belly to swell;
5:22 and this water bringing the curse shall enter into thy womb to cause
thy belly to swell, and thy thigh to rot. And the woman shall say, So be it,
So be it.
5:23 And the priest shall write these curses in a book, and shall blot them
out with the water of the conviction that brings the curse.
5:24 And he shall cause the woman to drink the water of the conviction that
brings the curse; and the water of the conviction that brings the curse
shall enter into her.
5:25 And the priest shall take from the hand of the woman the sacrifice of
jealousy, and shall present the sacrifice before Yehovah, and shall bring
it to the altar.
5:26 And the priest shall take a handful of the sacrifice as a memorial of
it, and shall offer it up upon the altar; and afterwards he shall cause the
woman to drink the water.
5:27 And it shall come to pass, if she be defiled, and have altogether
escaped the notice of her husband, then the water of the conviction that
brings the curse shall enter into her; and she shall swell in her belly, and
her thigh shall rot, and the woman shall be for a curse in the midst of her
people.
5:28 But if the woman have not been polluted, and be clean, then shall she
be guiltless and shall conceive seed.
5:29 This is the law of jealousy, wherein a married woman should happen to
transgress, and be defiled;
5:30 or in the case of a man on whomsoever the spirit of jealousy should
come, and he should be jealous of his wife, and he should place his wife
before Yehovah, and the priest shall execute towards her all this law.
5:31 Then the man shall be clear from sin, and that woman shall bear her
sin. |
5:1 And Yehovah spake unto Moses, saying,
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:
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.
5:4 And the children of Israel did so, and put them out without the camp: as
Yehovah spake unto Moses, so did the children of Israel.
5:5 And Yehovah spake 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 Yehovah, 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 hath trespassed.
5:8 But if the man have no kinsman to recompense the trespass unto, let the
trespass be recompensed unto Yehovah, 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 giveth
the priest, it shall be his.
5:11 And Yehovah spake 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 Yehovah:
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 Yehovah, 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:
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:
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:
5:21 Then the priest shall charge the woman with an oath of cursing, and the
priest shall say unto the woman, Yehovah make thee a curse and an oath
among thy people, when Yehovah doth make thy thigh to rot, and thy belly to
swell;
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.
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 causeth the
curse: and the water that causeth 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 Yehovah, 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 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.
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 goeth aside to another
instead of her husband, and is defiled;
5:30 Or when the spirit of jealousy cometh upon him, and he be jealous over
his wife, and shall set the woman before Yehovah, 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. |
