1. Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
2. “Command the Israelites: they must send everyone from the camp who is afflicted with a rash, everyone with a fluid discharge, and everyone unclean through contact with a corpse.
3. You will send away both male and female; you will send them outside the camp. They must not make unclean their camps where I am dwelling in their midst.”
4. So the Israelites did so. They sent them away outside the camp; just as Yahweh spoke to Moses, so did the Israelites.
5. Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
6. “Speak to the Israelites: ‘When a man or woman commits any of the sins of humankind by acting unfaithfully, it is a sin against Yahweh, and that person will be guilty;
7. they will confess their sin that they did and will make restitution for their guilt by adding a fifth to it and giving it to whomever was wronged.
8. But if the man does not have a redeemer to make restitution to him for the reparation, the reparation is to be given to Yahweh for the priest, in addition to the ram of atonement by which atonement is made for him.
9. And every contribution of all the holy objects of the Israelites that they bring to the priest for him will be his.
10. The holy objects of a man will be for him; whatever he gives to the priest will be for him.’ ”
11. Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
12. “Speak to the Israelites and say to them, ‘If any man’s wife goes astray and acts unfaithfully to him,
13. and a man sleeps with her and ejaculates and it is hidden from the eyes of her husband and she is concealed, although she is defiled, and 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 is defiled; or if a spirit of jealousy comes over him and he is jealous of his wife but she is not defiled,
15. he will bring his wife to the priest. And he will bring her offering for her, one-tenth of an ephah of flour. He will not pour oil on it, and he will not put frankincense on it because it is a grain offering of jealousy, a grain offering of remembering, a reminding of guilt.
16. “ ‘Then the priest will bring her near and present her before Yahweh;
17. the priest will take holy waters in a clay vessel, and from the dust that is on the floor of the tabernacle, and the priest will put it into the waters.
18. And the priest will present the woman before Yahweh, and he will uncover the head of the woman; he will then put in her hands the grain offering of the remembering—which is the grain offering of jealousy—and in the hand of the priest will be the waters of bitterness that brings a curse.
19. Then the priest will make her swear an oath, and he will say to the woman, “If a man has not slept with you, and if you have not had an impurity affair under your husband, go unpunished from the waters of bitterness that brings this curse.
20. But if you have had an affair under your husband, and if you are defiled and a man other than your husband had intercourse with you,”
