1 Disse o Senhor a Moisés: 2 Ordena aos filhos de Israel que lancem para fora do arraial todo leproso, todo o que padece fluxo e todo imundo por ter tocado em algum morto; 3 tanto homem como mulher os lançareis; para fora do arraial os lançareis, para que não contaminem o arraial, no meio do qual eu habito. 4 Os filhos de Israel fizeram assim e os lançaram para fora do arraial; como o Senhor falara a Moisés, assim fizeram os filhos de Israel.

5 Disse mais o Senhor a Moisés: 6 Dize aos filhos de Israel: Quando homem ou mulher cometer algum dos pecados em que caem os homens, ofendendo ao Senhor, tal pessoa é culpada. 7 Confessará o pecado que cometer; e, pela culpa, fará plena restituição, e lhe acrescentará a sua quinta parte, e dará tudo àquele contra quem se fez culpado. 8 Mas, se esse homem não tiver parente chegado, a quem possa fazer restituição pela culpa, então, o que se restitui ao Senhor pela culpa será do sacerdote, além do carneiro expiatório com que se fizer expiação pelo culpado. 9 Toda oferta de todas as coisas santas dos filhos de Israel, que trouxerem ao sacerdote, será deste 10 e também as coisas sagradas de cada um; o que alguém der ao sacerdote será deste.

11 Disse mais o Senhor a Moisés: 12 Fala aos filhos de Israel e dize-lhes: Se a mulher de alguém se desviar e lhe for infiel, 13 de maneira que algum homem se tenha deitado com ela, e for oculto aos olhos de seu marido, e ela o tiver ocultado, havendo-se ela contaminado, e contra ela não houver testemunha, e não for surpreendida em flagrante, 14 e o espírito de ciúmes vier sobre ele, e de sua mulher tiver ciúmes, por ela se haver contaminado, ou o tiver, não se havendo ela contaminado, 15 então, esse homem trará a sua mulher perante o sacerdote e juntamente trará a sua oferta por ela: uma décima de efa de farinha de cevada, sobre a qual não deitará azeite, nem sobre ela porá incenso, porquanto é oferta de manjares de ciúmes, oferta memorativa, que traz a iniquidade à memória.

16 O sacerdote a fará chegar e a colocará perante o Senhor. 17 O sacerdote tomará água santa num vaso de barro; também tomará do pó que houver no chão do tabernáculo e o deitará na água. 18 Apresentará a mulher perante o Senhor e soltará a cabeleira dela; e lhe porá nas mãos a oferta memorativa de manjares, que é a oferta de manjares dos ciúmes. A água amarga, que traz consigo a maldição, estará na mão do sacerdote. 19 O sacerdote a conjurará e lhe dirá: Se ninguém contigo se deitou, e se não te desviaste para a imundícia, estando sob o domínio de teu marido, destas águas amargas, amaldiçoantes, serás livre. 20 Mas, se te desviaste, quando sob o domínio de teu marido, e te contaminaste, e algum homem, que não é o teu marido, se deitou contigo 21 (então, o sacerdote fará que a mulher tome o juramento de maldição e lhe dirá), o Senhor te ponha por maldição e por praga no meio do teu povo, fazendo-te o Senhor descair a coxa e inchar o ventre; 22 e esta água amaldiçoante penetre nas tuas entranhas, para te fazer inchar o ventre e te fazer descair a coxa. Então, a mulher dirá: Amém! Amém!

23 O sacerdote escreverá estas maldições num livro e, com a água amarga, as apagará. 24 E fará que a mulher beba a água amarga, que traz consigo a maldição; e, sendo bebida, lhe causará amargura. 25 Da mão da mulher tomará o sacerdote a oferta de manjares de ciúmes e a moverá perante o Senhor; e a trará ao altar. 26 Tomará um punhado da oferta de manjares, da oferta memorativa, e sobre o altar o queimará; e, depois, dará a beber a água à mulher. 27 E, havendo-lhe dado a beber a água, será que, se ela se tiver contaminado, e a seu marido tenha sido infiel, a água amaldiçoante entrará nela para amargura, e o seu ventre se inchará, e a sua coxa descairá; a mulher será por maldição no meio do seu povo. 28 Se a mulher se não tiver contaminado, mas estiver limpa, então, será livre e conceberá.

29 Esta é a lei para o caso de ciúmes, quando a mulher, sob o domínio de seu marido, se desviar e for contaminada; 30 ou quando sobre o homem vier o espírito de ciúmes, e tiver ciúmes de sua mulher, apresente a mulher perante o Senhor, e o sacerdote nela execute toda esta lei. 31 O homem será livre da iniquidade, porém a mulher levará a sua iniquidade.

1 And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying, 2 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: 3 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. 4 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.

5 And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying, 6 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; 7 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. 8 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. 9 And every heave-offering of all the holy things of the children of Israel, which they present unto the priest, shall be his. 10 And every man’s hallowed things shall be his: whatsoever any man giveth the priest, it shall be his.

11 And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying, 12 Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, If any man’s wife go aside, and commit a trespass against him, 13 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; 14 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: 15 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.

16 And the priest shall bring her near, and set her before Jehovah: 17 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. 18 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. 19 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. 20 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: 21 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; 22 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.

23 And the priest shall write these curses in a book, and he shall blot them out into the water of bitterness: 24 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. 25 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: 26 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. 27 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. 28 And if the woman be not defiled, but be clean; then she shall be free, and shall conceive seed.

29 This is the law of jealousy, when a wife, being under her husband, goeth aside, and is defiled; 30 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. 31 And the man shall be free from iniquity, and that woman shall bear her iniquity.

1 The LORD said to Moses,

2 "Command the Israelites to send away from the camp anyone who has a defiling skin disease "or a discharge of any kind, or who is ceremonially unclean because of a dead body.

3 Send away male and female alike; send them outside the camp so they will not defile their camp, where I dwell among them."

4 The Israelites did so; they sent them outside the camp. They did just as the LORD had instructed Moses.

5 The LORD said to Moses,

6 "Say to the Israelites: 'Any man or woman who wrongs another in any way "and so is unfaithful to the LORD is guilty

7 and must confess the sin they have committed. They must make full restitution for the wrong they have done, add a fifth of the value to it and give it all to the person they have wronged.

8 But if that person has no close relative to whom restitution can be made for the wrong, the restitution belongs to the LORD and must be given to the priest, along with the ram with which atonement is made for the wrongdoer.

9 All the sacred contributions the Israelites bring to a priest will belong to him.

10 Sacred things belong to their owners, but what they give to the priest will belong to the priest.'"

11 Then the LORD said to Moses,

12 "Speak to the Israelites and say to them: 'If a man's wife goes astray and is unfaithful to him

13 so that another man has sexual relations with her, and this is hidden from her husband and her impurity is undetected (since there is no witness against her and she has not been caught in the act),

14 and if feelings of jealousy come over her husband and he suspects his wife and she is impure —or if he is jealous and suspects her even though she is not impure —

15 then he is to take his wife to the priest. He must also take an offering of a tenth of an ephah "of barley flour on her behalf. He must not pour olive oil on it or put incense on it, because it is a grain offering for jealousy, a reminder-offering to draw attention to wrongdoing.

16 "'The priest shall bring her and have her stand before the LORD.

17 Then he shall take some holy water in a clay jar and put some dust from the tabernacle floor into the water.

18 After the priest has had the woman stand before the LORD, he shall loosen her hair and place in her hands the reminder-offering, the grain offering for jealousy, while he himself holds the bitter water that brings a curse.

19 Then the priest shall put the woman under oath and say to her, "If no other man has had sexual relations with you and you have not gone astray and become impure while married to your husband, may this bitter water that brings a curse not harm you.

20 But if you have gone astray while married to your husband and you have made yourself impure by having sexual relations with a man other than your husband" —

21 here the priest is to put the woman under this curse —"may the LORD cause you to become a curse "among your people when he makes your womb miscarry and your abdomen swell.

22 May this water that brings a curse enter your body so that your abdomen swells or your womb miscarries." "'Then the woman is to say, "Amen. So be it."

23 "'The priest is to write these curses on a scroll and then wash them off into the bitter water.

24 He shall make the woman drink the bitter water that brings a curse, and this water that brings a curse and causes bitter suffering will enter her.

25 The priest is to take from her hands the grain offering for jealousy, wave it before the LORD and bring it to the altar.

26 The priest is then to take a handful of the grain offering as a memorial "offering and burn it on the altar; after that, he is to have the woman drink the water.

27 If she has made herself impure and been unfaithful to her husband, this will be the result: When she is made to drink the water that brings a curse and causes bitter suffering, it will enter her, her abdomen will swell and her womb will miscarry, and she will become a curse.

28 If, however, the woman has not made herself impure, but is clean, she will be cleared of guilt and will be able to have children.

29 "'This, then, is the law of jealousy when a woman goes astray and makes herself impure while married to her husband,

30 or when feelings of jealousy come over a man because he suspects his wife. The priest is to have her stand before the LORD and is to apply this entire law to her.

31 The husband will be innocent of any wrongdoing, but the woman will bear the consequences of her sin.'"
