Numbers 5
|
And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying, | And the Lord said to Moses, |
Command the children of Israel, that they put out of the camp every leper, and every one that hath an issue, and whosoever is unclean by the dead: | Give orders to the children of Israel to put outside the tent-circle every leper, and anyone who has any sort of flow from his body, and anyone who is unclean from the touch of the dead; |
both male and female shall ye put out, without the camp shall ye put them; that they defile not their camp, in the midst whereof I dwell. | Male or female they are to be put outside the tent-circle, so that they may not make unclean my resting-place among them. |
And the children of Israel did so, and put them out without the camp; as Jehovah spake unto Moses, so did the children of Israel. | So the children of Israel did as the Lord had said to Moses, and put them outside the tent-circle. |
And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying, | And the Lord said to Moses, |
Speak unto the children of Israel, When a man or woman shall commit any sin that men commit, so as to trespass against Jehovah, and that soul shall be guilty; | Say to the children of Israel, If a man or a woman does any of the sins of men, going against the word of the Lord, and is in the wrong; |
then he shall confess his sin which he hath done: and he shall make restitution for his guilt in full, and add unto it the fifth part thereof, and give it unto him in respect of whom he hath been guilty. | Let them say openly what they have done; and make payment for the wrong done, with the addition of a fifth part, and give it to him to whom the wrong was done. |
But if the man have no kinsman to whom restitution may be made for the guilt, the restitution for guilt which is made unto Jehovah shall be the priest's; besides the ram of the atonement, whereby atonement shall be made for him. | But if the man has no relation to whom the payment may be made, then the payment for sin made to the Lord will be the priest's, in addition to the sheep offered to take away his sin. |
And every heave-offering of all the holy things of the children of Israel, which they present unto the priest, shall be his. | And every offering lifted up of all the holy things which the children of Israel give to the priest, will be his. |
And every man's hallowed things shall be his: whatsoever any man giveth the priest, it shall be his. | And every man's holy things will be his: whatever a man gives to the priest will be his. |
And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying, | And the Lord said to Moses, |
Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, If any man's wife go aside, and commit a trespass against him, | Say to the children of Israel, If any man's wife does wrong, sinning against him |
and a man lie with her carnally, and it be hid from the eyes of her husband, and be kept close, and she be defiled, and there be no witness against her, and she be not taken in the act; | By taking as her lover another man, and keeps it secret so that her husband has no knowledge of it, and there is no witness against her, and she is not taken in the act; |
and the spirit of jealousy come upon him, and he be jealous of his wife, and she be defiled: or if the spirit of jealousy come upon him, and he be jealous of his wife, and she be not defiled: | If the spirit of doubt comes into her husband's heart, and he has doubts of his wife, with good cause; or if he has doubts of her without cause: |
then shall the man bring his wife unto the priest, and shall bring her oblation for her, the tenth part of an ephah of barley meal; he shall pour no oil upon it, nor put frankincense thereon; for it is a meal-offering of jealousy, a meal-offering of memorial, bringing iniquity to remembrance. | Then let him take her to the priest, offering for her the tenth part of an ephah of barley meal, without oil or perfume; for it is a meal offering of a bitter spirit, a meal offering keeping wrongdoing in mind. |
And the priest shall bring her near, and set her before Jehovah: | And the priest will make her come near and put her before the Lord; |
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. | And the priest will take holy water in a pot and put in it dust from the floor of the House; |
And the priest shall set the woman before Jehovah, 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 causeth the curse. | And he will make the woman come before the Lord with her hair loose, and will put the meal offering, the offering of a bitter spirit, in her hands; and the priest will take in his hand the bitter water causing the curse; |
And the priest shall cause her to swear, and shall say unto the woman, If no man have lain with thee, and if thou have not gone aside to uncleanness, being under thy husband, be thou free from this water of bitterness that causeth the curse. | And he will make her take an oath, and say to her, If no man has been your lover and you have not been with another in place of your husband, you are free from this bitter water causing the curse; |
But if thou have gone aside, being under thy husband, and if thou be defiled, and some man have lain with thee besides thy husband: | But if you have been with another in place of your husband and have made yourself unclean with a lover: |
then the priest shall cause the woman to swear with the oath of cursing, and the priest shall say unto the woman, Jehovah make thee a curse and an oath among thy people, when Jehovah doth make thy thigh to fall away, and thy body to swell; | Then the priest will put the oath of the curse on the woman, and say to her, May the Lord make you a curse and an oath among your people, sending on you wasting of the legs and disease of the stomach; |
and this water that causeth the curse shall go into thy bowels, and make thy body to swell, and thy thigh to fall away. And the woman shall say, Amen, Amen. | And this water of the curse will go into your body, causing disease of your stomach and wasting of your legs: and the woman will say, So be it. |
And the priest shall write these curses in a book, and he shall blot them out into the water of bitterness: | And the priest will put these curses in a book, washing out the writing with the bitter water; |
and he shall make the woman drink the water of bitterness that causeth the curse; and the water that causeth the curse shall enter into her [and become] bitter. | And he will give to the woman the bitter water for drink; and the bitter water causing the curse will go into her. |
And the priest shall take the meal-offering of jealousy out of the woman's hand, and shall wave the meal-offering before Jehovah, and bring it unto the altar: | And the priest will take from her hand the meal offering of doubt, waving it before the Lord, and will take it to the altar; |
and the priest shall take a handful of the meal-offering, as the memorial thereof, and burn it upon the altar, and afterward shall make the woman drink the water. | And he will take some of it in his hand, burning it on the altar as a sign, and then he will give the woman the bitter water. |
And when he hath made her drink the water, then it shall come to pass, if she be defiled, and have committed a trespass against her husband, that the water that causeth 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. | And it will be that if the woman has become unclean, sinning against her husband, when she has taken the bitter water it will go into her body, causing disease of the stomach and wasting of the legs, and she will be a curse among her people. |
And if the woman be not defiled, but be clean; then she shall be free, and shall conceive seed. | But if she is clean she will be free and will have offspring. |
This is the law of jealousy, when a wife, being under her husband, goeth aside, and is defiled; | This is the law for testing a wife who goes with another in place of her husband and becomes unclean; |
or when the spirit of jealousy cometh upon a man, and he is jealous of his wife; then shall he set the woman before Jehovah, and the priest shall execute upon her all this law. | Or for a husband who, in a bitter spirit, has doubts in his heart about his wife; let him take her to the priest, who will put in force this law. |
And the man shall be free from iniquity, and that woman shall bear her iniquity. | Then the man will be free from all wrong, and the woman's sin will be on her. |
