1 The LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
2 "Order the children of Israel to send away from the camp anyone with leprosy, anyone with a discharge, and anyone made unclean by a dead body.
3 Male or female, you are to send them away; send them outside the camp, so that they do not make their camps unclean, where I dwell among them."
4 The children of Israel did so and sent them outside the camp. Just as the LORD had told Moses, so the children of Israel did.
5 The LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
6 "Tell the children of Israel: When a man or woman commits any of the sins people commit, acting unfaithfully toward the LORD, that person has incurred guilt.
7 They are to confess the sin they have done, and he is to pay back the restitution for his wrong in full, add a fifth to it, and give it to the one he wronged.
8 But if the person has no kinsman-redeemer to whom the restitution can be paid, the restitution paid for the wrong goes to the LORD, to the priest, besides the ram of atonement by which atonement is made for him.
9 Every contribution of all the holy things that the children of Israel bring to the priest is to be his.
10 Each man's holy things remain his; but whatever anyone gives to the priest belongs to the priest."
11 The LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
12 "Tell the children of Israel: Suppose a man's wife turns aside and is unfaithful to him,
13 and another man sleeps with her, but it is concealed from her husband's eyes; she has made herself unclean and it remains secret, since there is no witness against her and she was not caught.
14 If a spirit of jealousy comes over him and he is jealous of his wife, and she has made herself unclean—or if a spirit of jealousy comes over him and he is jealous of his wife, and she has not made herself unclean—
15 then the man is to bring his wife to the priest, and bring as her offering a tenth of an ephah of barley flour. He must not pour oil on it or put frankincense on it, because it is a grain offering for jealousy, a grain offering of remembrance that calls iniquity to mind.
16 "The priest is to have her come forward and stand before the LORD.
17 He is to take holy water in a clay vessel, take some of the dust from the floor of the tabernacle, and put it into the water.
18 After having the woman stand before the LORD, the priest is to loosen her hair and put in her hands the grain offering of remembrance, which is the grain offering for jealousy, while the priest holds the bitter water that brings the curse.
19 The priest is to put her under oath and say to the woman, 'If no man has slept with you and you have not turned aside to uncleanness while you were under your husband, go free from this bitter water that brings the curse.
20 But if you have turned aside while under your husband and made yourself unclean, and a man other than your husband has slept with you'—
21 here the priest is to put the woman under the oath of the curse and say to her—'may the LORD make you an object of cursing and swearing among your people by making your thigh shrivel and your belly swell.
22 May this water that brings the curse enter your body to make your belly swell and your thigh shrivel.' And the woman is to say, 'Amen, amen.'
23 "Then the priest is to write these curses on a scroll and wipe them off into the bitter water.
24 He is to have the woman drink the bitter water that brings the curse, and the water that brings the curse will enter her and become bitter.
25 The priest is to take the grain offering for jealousy from the woman's hand, wave the grain offering before the LORD, and bring it to the altar.
26 He is to take a handful from the grain offering as its memorial portion and burn it on the altar; after that he is to have the woman drink the water.
27 Once he has had her drink the water, if she has made herself unclean and been unfaithful to her husband, the water that brings the curse will enter her and become bitter; her belly will swell and her thigh will shrivel, and the woman will become a curse among her people.
28 But if the woman has not made herself unclean and is pure, she will go free and will be able to bear children.
29 "This is the law for jealousy, when a wife turns aside while under her husband and makes herself unclean,
30 or when a spirit of jealousy comes over a man and he becomes jealous of his wife: he is to have the woman stand before the LORD, and the priest is to apply this entire law to her.
31 The man will be clear of iniquity, but that woman will bear her iniquity."
