~Numbers 5:1 And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying,
~Numbers 5:2 Command the children of Israel, that they put out ofthe camp every leper, and every one that hath an issue, andwhosoever is unclean by the dead:
~Numbers 5:3 both male and female shall ye put out, without thecamp shall ye put them; that they defile not their camp, in the midstwhereof I dwell.
~Numbers 5:4 And the children of Israel did so, and put them outwithout the camp; as Jehovah spake unto Moses, so did the childrenof Israel.
~Numbers 5:5 And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying,
~Numbers 5:6 Speak unto the children of Israel, When a man orwoman shall commit any sin that men commit, so as to trespassagainst Jehovah, and that soul shall be guilty;
~Numbers 5:7 then he shall confess his sin which he hath done: andhe shall make restitution for his guilt in full, and add unto it the fifthpart thereof, and give it unto him in respect of whom he hath beenguilty.
~Numbers 5:8 But if the man have no kinsman to whom restitutionmay be made for the guilt, the restitution for guilt which is made untoJehovah shall be the priest's; besides the ram of the atonement,whereby atonement shall be made for him.
~Numbers 5:9 And every heave-offering of all the holy things of thechildren of Israel, which they present unto the priest, shall be his.
~Numbers 5:10 And every man's hallowed things shall be his:whatsoever any man giveth the priest, it shall be his.

~Numbers 5:12 Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them,If any man's wife go aside, and commit a trespass against him,
~Numbers 5:13 and a man lie with her carnally, and it be hid from theeyes of her husband, and be kept close, and she be defiled, and therebe no witness against her, and she be not taken in the act;
~Numbers 5:14 and the spirit of jealousy come upon him, and he bejealous of his wife, and she be defiled: or if the spirit of jealousycome upon him, and he be jealous of his wife, and she be not defiled:
~Numbers 5:15 then shall the man bring his wife unto the priest, andshall bring her oblation for her, the tenth part of an ephah of barleymeal; he shall pour no oil upon it, nor put frankincense thereon; for itis a meal-offering of jealousy, a meal-offering of memorial, bringinginiquity to remembrance.
~Numbers 5:16 And the priest shall bring her near, and set her beforeJehovah:
~Numbers 5:17 and the priest shall take holy water in an earthenvessel; and of the dust that is on the floor of the tabernacle the priestshall take, and put it into the water.
~Numbers 5:18 And the priest shall set the woman before Jehovah,and let the hair of the woman's head go loose, and put the mealofferingof memorial in her hands, which is the meal-offering ofjealousy: and the priest shall have in his hand the water of bitternessthat causeth the curse.
~Numbers 5:19 And the priest shall cause her to swear, and shall sayunto the woman, If no man have lain with thee, and if thou have notgone aside to uncleanness, being under thy husband, be thou freefrom this water of bitterness that causeth the curse.
~Numbers 5:20 But if thou have gone aside, being under thy husband,and if thou be defiled, and some man have lain with thee besides thyhusband:
~Numbers 5:21 then the priest shall cause the woman to swear withthe oath of cursing, and the priest shall say unto the woman, Jehovahmake thee a curse and an oath among thy people, when Jehovah dothmake thy thigh to fall away, and thy body to swell;
~Numbers 5:22 and this water that causeth the curse shall go into thybowels, and make thy body to swell, and thy thigh to fall away. Andthe woman shall say, Amen, Amen.
~Numbers 5:23 And the priest shall write these curses in a book, andhe shall blot them out into the water of bitterness:
~Numbers 5:24 and he shall make the woman drink the water ofbitterness that causeth the curse; and the water that causeth the curseshall enter into her [and become] bitter.
~Numbers 5:25 And the priest shall take the meal-offering of jealousyout of the woman's hand, and shall wave the meal-offering beforeJehovah, and bring it unto the altar:
~Numbers 5:26 and the priest shall take a handful of the mealoffering,as the memorial thereof, and burn it upon the altar, andafterward shall make the woman drink the water.
~Numbers 5:27 And when he hath made her drink the water, then itshall come to pass, if she be defiled, and have committed a trespassagainst her husband, that the water that causeth the curse shall enterinto her [and become] bitter, and her body shall swell, and her thighshall fall away: and the woman shall be a curse among her people.
~Numbers 5:28 And if the woman be not defiled, but be clean; thenshe shall be free, and shall conceive seed.
~Numbers 5:29 This is the law of jealousy, when a wife, being underher husband, goeth aside, and is defiled;
~Numbers 5:30 or when the spirit of jealousy cometh upon a man,and he is jealous of his wife; then shall he set the woman beforeJehovah, and the priest shall execute upon her all this law.
~Numbers 5:31 And the man shall be free from iniquity, and thatwoman shall bear her iniquity
