The Book of Numbers 5

5 And Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying, 2 “Command the sons of Israel and they shall send away from the camp every one with an infectious skin disease and every one who flows and every one unclean by a dead person. 3 From male up to female you shall send, to the outside of the camp you shall send them. And they shall not defile their camp, because I am dwelling in the midst of them.” 4 And the sons of Israel did so, and they sent them to the outside of the camp. Thus the sons of Israel did just as Yahweh had spoken to Moses.

5 And Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying, 6 “Speak to the sons of Israel: ‘When a man or woman does from any of the sins of the human to act unfaithfully in unfaithfulness against Yahweh, then that person has done wrong. 7 And they shall confess their sin that they did, and he shall return his price of wrongdoing by its head and he shall add its fifth in addition to it, and he shall give to whom he has done wrong to. 8 And if there is not a redeemer for the man to return the price of wrongdoing to him, the price of wrongdoing will be returned to Yahweh, to the priest, apart from the ram of the atonement with which he shall make atonement for him. 9 And every contribution of all the holy things of the sons of Israel that they offer to the priest, it shall belong to him. 10 And a man, his holy things shall belong to him; what a man gives to the priest shall belong to him.’ ”

11 And Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying, 12 “Speak to the sons of Israel and say to them, ‘Man by man, if his wife turns aside and acts unfaithfully against him in unfaithfulness, 13 and a man lies the lying of seed with her and it is concealed from the eyes of her husband, and it is hidden, and she herself is defiled, and there is no witness against her, and she herself has not been caught, 14 and a spirit of jealousy passes over upon him and he is jealous of his wife and she herself is defiled, or a spirit of jealousy comes over upon him and he is jealous of his wife but she herself is not defiled; 15 then the man shall bring his wife to the priest. And he shall bring her offering for her, the tenth of the ephah of the flour of barley. He shall not pour oil upon it, and he shall not put frankincense upon it, for it is a grain offering of jealousy, a grain offering of remembrance, one that causes iniquity to be remembered.

16 And the priest shall bring her near, and he shall stand her before the face of Yahweh. 17 And the priest shall take the holy water in the vessel of clay, and the priest shall take some of the dust that is on the floor of the dwelling, and he shall put it into the water. 18 And the priest shall stand the woman before the face of Yahweh, and he shall unbind the head of the woman, and he shall put upon her palm the grain offering of remembrance. It is the grain offering of jealousy. And in the hand of the priest shall be the water of bitterness that brings a curse. 19 And the priest shall make her swear, and he shall say to the woman, “If a man has not lain with you, and if you have not turned aside to uncleanness under your husband, you will be free from this water of bitterness that brings a curse. 20 But if you have turned aside under your husband, and if you are defiled and a man apart from your husband has given his lying with you,” 21 (and the priest shall make the woman swear with an oath of the curse). And the priest shall say to the woman, “Yahweh will make you into a curse and into an oath in the midst of your people when Yahweh makes your thigh fall away and your abdomen swell. 22 And this water that brings a curse will enter in your inward parts to cause swelling of the abdomen and to cause falling away of your thigh.” And the woman shall say, “Truly, truly.”

23 And the priest shall write these curses in the book, and he shall wipe it off into the water of bitterness. 24 And he shall cause the woman to drink the water of bitterness that brings a curse, and the water that brings a curse of bitterness will enter in her. 25 And the priest shall take the grain offering of jealousy from the hand of the woman, and he shall wave the grain offering before the face of Yahweh, and he shall bring it near to the altar. 26 And the priest shall grasp from the grain offering its memorial portion and he shall burn it up at the altar. And after he shall make the woman drink the water. 27 And he shall make her drink the water. And it will be that if she is defiled and has acted unfaithfully in unfaithfulness with her husband, then the water that brings a curse of bitterness will enter in her, and her abdomen will swell, and her thigh will fall away, and the woman will become a curse in the midst of her people. 28 And if the woman is not defiled, then she herself is clean, and she will be free, and she will be sown with seed.

29 This is the law of jealousy when a woman turns aside under her husband and is defiled, 30 or a man, when a spirit of jealousy passes over upon him and he is jealous of his wife, and he shall stand the woman before the face of Yahweh, and the priest shall do all this law to her. 31 And the man will be free from iniquity, and this woman will carry her iniquity.’ ”
