1Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
2“Command the Israelites: they must send everyone from the camp who is afflicted with a rash, everyone with a fluid discharge, and everyone unclean through contact with a corpse.[#Literally “sons/children of Israel”; #The precise meaning is uncertain; many modern translations suggest “leprosy”]
3You will send away both male and female; you will send them outside the camp. They must not make unclean their camps where I am dwelling in their midst.”[#Literally “from male until female”; #Literally “to an outside place of the camp”]
4So the Israelites did so. They sent them away outside the camp; just as Yahweh spoke to Moses, so did the Israelites.[#Literally “sons/children of Israel”; #Literally “to an outside place of the camp”; #Literally “sons/children of Israel”]
5Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
6“Speak to the Israelites: ‘When a man or woman commits any of the sins of humankind by acting unfaithfully, it is a sin against Yahweh, and that person will be guilty;[#Literally “sons/children of Israel”; #Literally “does”]
7they will confess their sin that they did and will make restitution for their guilt by adding a fifth to it and giving it to whomever was wronged.[#Hebrew “his”; #Literally “on top of it”; #Literally “to whomever he was guilty”]
8But if the man does not have a redeemer to make restitution to him for the reparation, the reparation is to be given to Yahweh for the priest, in addition to the ram of atonement by which atonement is made for him.
9And every contribution of all the holy objects of the Israelites that they bring to the priest for him will be his.[#Literally “sons/children of Israel”]
10The holy objects of a man will be for him; whatever he gives to the priest will be for him.’ ”[#That is, the priest]
11Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
12“Speak to the Israelites and say to them, ‘If any man’s wife goes astray and acts unfaithfully to him,[#Literally “sons/children of Israel”]
13and a man sleeps with her and ejaculates and it is hidden from the eyes of her husband and she is concealed, although she is defiled, and there is no witness against her and she was not caught,
14if a spirit of jealousy comes over him, and he is jealous of his wife and she is defiled; or if a spirit of jealousy comes over him and he is jealous of his wife but she is not defiled,
15he will bring his wife to the priest. And he will bring her offering for her, one-tenth of an ephah of flour. He will not pour oil on it, and he will not put frankincense on it because it is a grain offering of jealousy, a grain offering of remembering, a reminding of guilt.[#Or “memorial”]
16“ ‘Then the priest will bring her near and present her before Yahweh;[#Literally “before the face of”]
17the priest will take holy waters in a clay vessel, and from the dust that is on the floor of the tabernacle, and the priest will put it into the waters.
18And the priest will present the woman before Yahweh, and he will uncover the head of the woman; he will then put in her hands the grain offering of the remembering—which is the grain offering of jealousy—and in the hand of the priest will be the waters of bitterness that brings a curse.[#Literally “before the face of”]
19Then the priest will make her swear an oath, and he will say to the woman, “If a man has not slept with you, and if you have not had an impurity affair under your husband, go unpunished from the waters of bitterness that brings this curse.
20But if you have had an affair under your husband, and if you are defiled and a man other than your husband had intercourse with you,”
21the priest will make the woman swear an oath of the sworn oath of the curse, the priest will say to the woman, “May Yahweh give you a curse and a sworn oath in the midst of your people with Yahweh making your hip fall away and your stomach swollen;[#Hebrew “giving”; #Or “waste away”]
22and these waters that bring a curse will go into your intestines to cause your womb to swell and to make your hip fall away.” And the women will say, “Amen. Amen.”[#Or “waste away”]
23“ ‘And the priests will write these curses on the scroll, and he will wipe them off into the waters of the bitterness.
24He will make the woman drink the waters of the bitterness that brings a curse, and the waters of bitterness that bring a curse will go into her.[#Hebrew “bring”]
25The priest will take the grain offering of jealousy from the hand of the woman, and he will wave the grain offering before Yahweh, and he will present it to the altar;[#Literally “before the face of Yahweh”]
26the priest will grasp her memorial offering from the grain offering, and he will turn it into smoke on the altar, and afterward he will make the woman drink the waters.
27When he has made her drink the waters, it will come about, if she has defiled herself and acted unfaithfully to her husband and the waters of bitterness that bring a curse go into her and her stomach swells and her hip falls away, the woman will be as a curse in the midst of her people.[#Or “wastes away”]
28And if the woman is not defiled, and she is pure, she will go unpunished and be able to conceive children.
29“ ‘This is the regulation of jealousy, when a woman has an affair under her husband and she is defiled,
30or when a spirit of jealousy comes over a man and he is jealous of his wife, he will present the woman before Yahweh,and the priest will do to her all of this law.[#Literally “before the face of”]
31The man will go unpunished from guilt, and the woman, she will bear her guilt.’ ”
