Numbers 5:1-14 ▼

1 And YHWH spoke to Moses, saying,

2 “Command the sons of Israel, and they shall put out of the camp every leper, and everyone who has a discharge, and everyone defiled by a corpse.

3 From male to female you? shall put out, toward the outside of the camp you? shall put them, that they may not defile their camps in the midst of which I dwell.”

4 And the sons of Israel did so, and put them toward the outside of the camp; as YHWH spoke to Moses, so the sons of Israel did.

8 But if the man has no redeemer to whom restitution may be made for the wrong, the restitution for the wrong is unto YHWH, for the priest, in addition to the ram of the atonement, with which atonement is made for him.

9 And every contribution of all the holy things of the sons of Israel, which they bring to the priest, unto him shall be.

10 And every man’s holy things shall be unto him; whatever any man gives the priest shall be unto him.”

11 And YHWH spoke to Moses, saying,

12 “Speak to the sons of Israel and say to them: A man, a man—when his wife goes astray and she acts unfaithfully against him—an unfaithfulness—

13 and a man lying with her lies, sowing, and it is hidden from the eyes of her husband, and it is concealed, and she has defiled herself, and there is no witness against her, and she was not caught,

14 and if the spirit of jealousy comes upon him and he becomes jealous of his wife, and she has defiled herself; or if a spirit of jealousy comes upon him, and he becomes jealous of his wife although she has not defiled herself,
