Numbers 5
1 And he spoke Yahweh to Moses saying.
Yahweh said to Moses/me,
2 Command [the] people of Israel so they may send away from the camp any [one who] has a skin disease and any [one who] has a discharge and any [person] unclean to a corpse.
“Tell this to the Israeli people: ‘You must send away from your (camp/area where you have your tents) any man or woman who has leprosy and anyone who has a discharge [of some fluid from his body], and anyone who has become unacceptable to God because of [having touched] a corpse.
3 From male unto female you will send away to from [the] outside of the camp you will send away them and not they will make unclean camps their which I [am] dwelling in midst of them.
Send them away from there in order that they will not [touch people in the camp area] where I live among you and cause them to become unacceptable to me.’”
4 And they did so [the] people of Israel and they sent away them to from [the] outside of the camp just as he had spoken Yahweh to Moses so they did [the] people of Israel.
So [Moses/I told that to the Israeli people, and] the Israeli people obeyed what Yahweh commanded Moses/me.
5 And he spoke Yahweh to Moses saying.
Yahweh also told Moses/me,
6 Speak to [the] people of Israel a man or a woman if they will do any of all [the] sins of humankind by acting unfaithfully unfaithfulness against Yahweh and it will be guilty the person that.
“Tell this to the Israeli people: ‘If someone (commits a crime against/does something wrong to) another person, [I consider that] that person has done wrong to me.
7 And they will confess sin their which they have done and he will repay compensation its in sum its and fifth its let him add to it and he will give [it] to [the one] whom he was guilty to him.
That person must confess that he or she is guilty, and he or she must pay to the person to whom wrong was done [what others consider to be a suitable/proper payment] for what he has done, and he must pay an extra 20 percent.
8 And if not [belongs] to the person a kinsman-redeemer to repay the compensation to him the compensation which is repaid [belongs] to Yahweh for the priest besides [the] ram of atonement which he will make atonement by it on him.
If the person against whom the wrong was done [has died and] there is no relative to whom the money can be paid, then the money belongs to me, and it must be paid to the priest. In addition, the one who did the wrong must give a male sheep to the priest [to sacrifice] in order that (that person’s sin may be forgiven/I can forgive that person for his sin).
9 And every contribution to all [the] holy things of [the] people of Israel which they will bring near to the priest to him it will belong.
All the sacred offerings that the Israelis bring to the priest belong to the priest.
10 And everyone holy things his to him they will belong everyone [that] which he will give to the priest to him it will belong.
The priest can keep those gifts.’”
11 And he spoke Yahweh to Moses saying.
Yahweh also said this to Moses/me:
12 Speak to [the] people of Israel and you will say to them a man a man if she will turn aside wife his and she will act unfaithfully against him unfaithfulness.
“Tell this to the Israeli people: ‘Suppose a man thinks that his wife has slept with another man,
13 And he will lie with a man with her a laying of seed and it will be hidden from [the] eyes of husband her and she will be undiscovered and she she has made herself unclean and [was] a witness there not against her and she not she was caught.
but neither he nor anyone else knows if it is true or not, because no one saw her doing that.
14 And it will pass over him a spirit of jealousy and he will be jealous of wife his and she she has made herself unclean or it has passed over him a spirit of jealousy and he will be jealous of wife his and she not she has made herself unclean.
But if the woman’s husband is jealous, and if he suspects that she has committed adultery, and he wants to know whether that is true or not,
15 And he will bring the man wife his to the priest and he will bring offering her on her tenth of ephah flour of barley not he will pour out on it oil and not he will put on it frankincense for [is] a grain offering of jealousi it a grain offering of remembrance [which] brings to remembrance iniquity.
he should take his wife to the priest. He must take along as an offering two quarts/liters of barley flour. The priest must not pour [olive] oil or incense on it, because this is an offering that the man has brought because he (is jealous/wants his wife to sleep only with him). It is an offering to find out if she is guilty or not. [Neither olive oil nor incense should be used because are associated with joy and this is not a time for joy.]
16 And he will bring near her the priest and he will make stand her before Yahweh.
The priest must tell the woman to stand [in front of the altar] in my presence.
17 And he will take the priest water holy in a vessel of earthenware and some of the dust which it will be on [the] floor of the tabernacle he will take the priest and he will put [it] into the water.
He must put some sacred water in a clay jar, and then he must put some dirt from the floor of the Sacred Tent into the water.
18 And he will make stand the priest the woman before Yahweh and he will let loose [the] head of the woman and he will put on hands her [the] grain offering of remembrance [is] a grain offering of jealousi it and in [the] hand of the priest they will be [the] waters of bitter [things] which bring a curse.
He must untie/unfasten the woman’s hair. Then he must put in her hands the grain that her jealous husband is offering to determine whether she has committed adultery or not. The priest must hold [the bowl that contains] bitter water that will cause (the woman to be cursed/bad things to happen to the woman) [if she is guilty].
19 And he will make swear her the priest and he will say to the woman if not he has lain with a man with you and if not you have turned aside uncleanness under husband your be free from [the] waters of bitter [things] which bring a curse these.
The priest must require her to solemnly declare [that she will tell the truth]. Then he must say to her, “Has another man had sex [EUP] with you? Have you faithfully [slept only with your husband] or not? If you have not slept with another man, nothing bad will happen to you if you drink the water.
20 And you if you have turned aside under husband your and if you have made yourself unclean and he has given a man in you copulation his from except husband your.
But if you have had sex with another man, [Yahweh will curse you].
21 And he will make swear the priest the woman with [the] oath of the curse and he will say the priest to the woman may he make Yahweh you into a curse and into a oath in among people your when makes Yahweh thigh your falling and belly your swollen.
Your womb will shrivel up and your stomach will swell up. You will never be able to give birth to children, and as a result, everyone will curse you and avoid you. If you have committed adultery, [when you drink] this water, that is what will happen to you.” Then the woman must answer, “[If I am guilty], I will not object if that happens.”
22 And they will go the waters which bring a curse these in inward parts your to make swell a belly and to make fall a thigh and she will say the woman amen - amen.
23 And he will write the curses these the priest on the scroll and he will wipe [them] off into [the] waters of bitter [things].
‘Then the priest must write [with ink] on a small scroll these (curses/bad things that will happen to her if she is guilty) [and then wash the ink off into the bitter water].
24 And he will make drink the woman [the] waters of bitter [things] which bring a curse and they will go in her the waters which bring a curse to bitter [things].
The priest must take from her the offering of barley flour [that she is holding], and lift it up to dedicate it to me. Then he must put it on the altar
25 And he will take the priest from [the] hand of the woman [the] grain offering of jealousi and he will wave the grain offering before Yahweh and he will bring near it to the altar.
26 And he will take a handful the priest of the grain offering memorial offering its and he will make [it] smoke the altar towards and after he will make drink the woman the waters.
and burn part of it as a sacrifice. Then the woman must drink the bitter water.
27 And he will make drink her the waters and she will be if she has made herself unclean and she has acted unfaithfully unfaithfulness against husband her and they will go in her the waters which bring a curse to bitter [things] and it will swell belly her and it will fall thigh her and she will become the woman a curse in [the] midst of people her.
If the woman has committed adultery, the water will cause her to suffer greatly. Her stomach will swell up and her womb will shrink, [and she will be unable to give birth to children]. And then her (relatives/fellow Israelis) will curse her.
28 And if not she has made herself unclean the woman and [is] pure she and she will be free and she will be impregnated seed.
But if she (is innocent/has not committed adultery), her body will not be harmed, and she will still be able to give birth to children.
29 This [is] [the] law of jealousi that she will turn aside a wife under husband her and she will make herself unclean.
‘That is the ritual that must be performed when a woman who is married has been unfaithful to her husband,
30 Or a man whom it will pass over him a spirit of jealousy and he will be jealous of wife his and he will make stand the woman before Yahweh and he will do to her the priest all the law this.
or when a man is jealous and suspects that his wife [has had sex with another man]. The priest must tell that woman to stand [at the altar] in my presence and obey these instructions.
31 And he will be free the man from iniquity and the woman that she will bear iniquity her.
Even if the woman has not done what the husband suspected, he will not be punished [MTY] for doing something wrong [by bringing his wife to the priest]. But if his wife is guilty, she will suffer as a result.’”
