Chapter 5
1
And Jehovah/God spoke unto Moses, saying, 2
Command
the children of Israel,
that
they put out of the camp every leper,
and
every one that has an issue,
and
whosoever is defiled by the dead . . . 3
both
male and female
shall
you put out,
without
the camp shall you 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
Jehovah/God spoke unto Moses,
so
did the children of Israel.
{Verses
5-7: Principle of 'Rebounding Your Sin'}
5
And Jehovah/God spoke 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 Jehovah/God,
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 has trespassed.
8
But if the man have no kinsman
to
recompense the trespass unto,
let
the trespass be recompensed unto Jehovah/God
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 gives the priest, it shall be his.
11
And Jehovah/God spoke 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 Jehovah/God.
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 Jehovah/God,
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 caused the curse.
19
And the priest shall charge her by an oath,
and
say unto the woman,
If
no man have lain with you,
and
if you have not gone aside to uncleanness
with
another instead of your husband,
be
you free from this bitter water that causes the curse.
20
But if you have gone aside to another
instead
of your husband, and if you be defiled,
and
some man have lain with you beside your husband . . . 21
then
the priest shall charge the woman with an oath of cursing,
and
the priest shall say unto the woman,
Jehovah/God
make you a curse and an oath among your people,
when
Jehovah/God does make your thigh to rot,
and
your belly to swell; 22
and
this water that causes the curse
shall
go into your bowels,
to
make your belly to swell, and your 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 causes the curse.
And
the water that caused 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 Jehovah/God,
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 has 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 caused 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 goes aside to another instead of her husband,
and
is defiled; 30
or
when the spirit of jealousy comes upon him,
and
he be jealous over his wife,
and
shall set the woman before Jehovah/God,
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.
