New Testament

Numbers 5:4-17 Tree Of Life Version (TLV)

4. This Bnei-Yisrael did, sending them outside the camp. Just as Adonai spoke to Moses, so Bnei-Yisrael did.

5. Adonai spoke to Moses saying,

6. “Say to Bnei-Yisrael: Whenever a man or woman commits any sins against any person, thus breaking faith with Adonai, that soul bears guilt.

7. That person is to confess the sin he has committed, make full restitution for his wrong, add one fifth to it and give it to the one he wronged.

8. But if that person has no close relative to whom to pay the restitution, the restitution belongs to Adonai. It is to be given to the kohen along with the ram of atonement with which he is to make atonement for him.

9. “Every contribution from all the sacred things that Bnei-Yisrael brings to the kohen will belong to him.

10. Each one’s sacred holy gifts are his own, but whatever each man gives to the kohen belongs to that kohen.”

11. Adonai spoke to Moses saying,

12. “Speak to Bnei-Yisrael and say to them: Suppose some man’s wife goes astray and is unfaithful to him,

13. and another man has sexual relations with her, but it is hidden from her husband’s eyes and her impurity is not detected. Yet there was no witness against her and she was not caught in the act.

14. Then a spirit of jealousy overcomes him and he is suspicious of his wife, when she is impure. Or a spirit of jealousy overcomes him and he suspects his wife, yet she is not impure.

15. “Then he should take his wife to the kohen. He must also bring a tenth of an ephah of barley flour as an offering for her. He is not to pour oil or put incense on it, because it is an offering for jealousy, a reminder offering drawing attention to guiltiness.

16. “The kohen is to bring her near and have her stand before Adonai.

17. Then the kohen is to take some holy water in a clay jar and take some dust from the floor of the Tabernacle and put it into the water.
