And the
Lord spake unto Moses, saying,
02 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:
03 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.
04 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.
05 And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,
06 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;
07 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.
08 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.
09 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.
