Numbers 5:1-15 ▼

1 And the Lorde spake vnto Moyses, saying:

2 Commaunde the children of Israel that they put out of the hoast euery leper, and euery one that hath an issue, & whosoeuer is defiled by the dead:

3 Both male and female shal ye put out, euen out of the hoast shall ye put them, that they defile not their tentes, among which I dwell.

4 And the children of Israel dyd so, and put them out of the hoast: euen as the Lorde spake vnto Moyses, so dyd the children of Israel.

5 And the Lorde spake vnto Moyses, saying:

6 Speake vnto the children of Israel: When a man or woman shall commit any sinne that men comit, and trespasse agaynst the Lorde: when that person shall trespasse,

7 Then they shall knowledge their sinne which they haue done, and let hym restore againe the hurt that he hath done, with his principall, and put the fift part of it more therto, and geue it vnto hym whom he hath trespassed agaynst.

8 But and if the man haue no kinseman to restore the hurt vnto, let the trespasse be made good vnto the Lorde, and it shalbe the priestes, beside the Ramme of the attonement, wherby an attonement shalbe made for hym.

9 And euery heaue offering that is made of the holy thynges of the children of Israel which they bring vnto the priest, shalbe his.

10 And euery mans halowed thynges shalbe his: whatsoeuer any man geueth the priest, it shalbe his.

11 And the Lorde spake vnto Moyses, saying:

12 Speake vnto the children of Israel, and say vnto them: If any mans wyfe go aside, and trespasse agaynst hym,

13 So that another man lye with her fleshly, and it be hid from the eyes of her husbande, and is kept close that she is defyled, and there is no witnesse against her, neither she taken with the maner,

14 And the spirite of gelousie commeth vpon hym, so that he is gelous ouer his wyfe which is defyled: or if the spirite of gelousie come vpon hym, so that he is gelous ouer his wyfe which is yet vndefyled:

15 Then let the man bring his wyfe vnto the priest, and bring her offeryng with her, the tenth part of an Epha of barly meale: but let hym put no oyle vpon it, nor put frankensence theron, for it is an offeryng of gelousie, an offeryng for a remembraunce, causyng the sinne to be thought vpon.
