¹ And Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,² Command the sons of Israel, that they put out of the camp every leper, and every one that has a discharge, and whoever is unclean by the dead:³ both male and female you shall put out, outside the camp you shall put them; that they do not defile their camp, where I dwell in their midst.⁴ And the sons of Israel did so, and put them out outside the camp; as Yahweh spoke to Moses, so the sons of Israel did.⁵ And Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,⁶ Speak to the sons of Israel, When a man or woman shall commit any sin that man commits, so as to trespass against Yahweh, and that soul shall be guilty;⁷ then he shall confess his sin which he has done: and he shall make restitution for his guilt in full, and add to it the fifth part thereof, and give it to him in respect of whom he has been guilty.⁸ But if the man has no kinsman to whom restitution may be made for the guilt, the restitution for guilt which is made to Yahweh shall be the priest's; besides the ram of the atonement, whereby atonement shall be made for him.⁹ And every heave-offering of all the holy things of the sons of Israel, which they present to the priest, shall be his.¹⁰ And every man's hallowed things shall be his: whatever any man gives the priest, it shall be his.

¹¹ And Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,¹² Speak to the sons of Israel, and say to them, If any man's wife goes aside, and commits a trespass against him,¹³ and a man has sex with her, and it is hid from the eyes of her husband, and is kept close, and she is defiled, and there is no witness against her, and she is not taken in the act;¹⁴ and the spirit of jealousy passed over him, and he is jealous of his wife, and she is defiled: or if the spirit of jealousy passed over him, and he is jealous of his wife, and she is not defiled:¹⁵ then the man shall bring his wife to the priest, and shall bring her oblation for her, the tenth part of an ephah of barley meal; he shall pour no oil on it, nor put frankincense thereon; for it is a meal-offering of jealousy, a meal-offering of memorial, bringing iniquity to remembrance.¹⁶ And the priest shall bring her near, and set her before Yahweh:¹⁷ and the priest shall take holy water in an earthen vessel; and of the dust that is on the floor of the tabernacle the priest shall take, and put it into the water.¹⁸ And the priest shall set the woman before Yahweh, and let the hair of the woman's head go loose, and put the meal-offering of memorial in her hands, which is the meal-offering of jealousy: and the priest shall have in his hand the water of bitterness that causes the curse.¹⁹ And the priest shall cause her to swear, and shall say to the woman, If no man has lain with you, and if you have not gone aside to uncleanness, being under your husband, [then] be innocent from this water of bitterness that causes the curse.²⁰ But if you have gone aside, being under your husband, and if you are defiled, and some man has lain with you besides your husband:²¹ then the priest shall cause the woman to swear with the oath of cursing, and the priest shall say to the woman, Yahweh will make you a curse and an oath among your people, when Yahweh makes your thigh to fall away, and your body to swell;²² and this water that causes the curse shall go into your insides, and make your body to swell, and your thigh to fall away. And the woman shall say, Amen, Amen.²³ And the priest shall write these curses in a book, and he shall blot them out into the water of bitterness:²⁴ and he shall make the woman drink the water of bitterness that causes the curse; and the water that causes the curse shall enter into her [and become] bitter.²⁵ And the priest shall take the meal-offering of jealousy out of the woman's hand, and shall wave the meal-offering before Yahweh, and bring it to the altar:²⁶ and the priest shall take a handful of the meal-offering, as the memorial thereof, and burn it on the altar, and afterward shall make the woman drink the water.²⁷ And when he has made her drink the water, then it shall come to pass, if she is defiled, and has committed a trespass against her husband, that the water that causes the curse shall enter into her [and become] bitter, and her body shall swell, and her thigh shall fall away: and the woman shall be a curse among her people.²⁸ And if the woman is not defiled, but is clean; then she shall be innocent, and shall conceive seed.²⁹ This is the law of jealousy, when a wife, being under her husband, goes aside, and is defiled;³⁰ or when the spirit of jealousy passes over a man, and he is jealous of his wife; then he shall set the woman before Yahweh, and the priest shall execute on her all this law.³¹ And the man shall be innocent from iniquity, and that woman shall bear her iniquity.
