Old Testament

New Testament

Numbers 5:1-10 Modern English Version (MEV)

1. And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:

2. Command the children of Israel that they put out of the camp every leper, and everyone who has a discharge, and whoever is defiled by the dead.

3. Both male and female you will put out. You will put them outside the camp, so they do not defile their camps in the midst of which I dwell.

4. The children of Israel did so, and put them outside the camp. As the Lord spoke to 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 sin against another, acting unfaithfully against the Lord, that person is guilty,

7. and shall confess his sin which he has committed, and he will repay his offense with its principal, and add to it one-fifth, and give it to him who was wronged.

8. But if the man has no relative to repay the offense to, let the offense be repaid to the Lord, even to the priest, beside the ram of the atonement, whereby an atonement will be made for him.

9. Every offering of all the holy things of the children of Israel, which they bring to the priest, will be his.

10. Every man’s holy things will be his. Whatever any man gives the priest, it will be his.
