Book 04 : NUMBERS - Chapter 005
005:001
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
005:002
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
005:003
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
005:004
And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying
005:005
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
005:006
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
005:007
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
005:008
And every offering of all the holy things of the children of
Israel, which they bring unto the priest, shall be his
005:009
And every man's hallowed things shall be his: whatsoever any
man giveth the priest, it shall be his
005:010
And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying
005:011
Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, If any
man's wife go aside, and commit a trespass against him
005:012
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
005:013
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
005:014
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
005:015
And the priest shall bring her near, and set her before the
LORD
005:016
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
005:017
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
005:018
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
005:019
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
005:020
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
005:021
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
005:022
And the priest shall write these curses in a book, and he
shall blot them out with the bitter water
005:023
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
005:024
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
005:025
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
005:026
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
005:027
And if the woman be not defiled, but be clean; then she shall
be free, and shall conceive seed
005:028
This is the law of jealousies, when a wife goeth aside to
another instead of her husband, and is defiled
005:029
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
005:030
Then shall the man be guiltless from iniquity, and this woman
shall bear her iniquity
