New Testament

Numbers 5:4-17 World Messianic Bible British Edition (WMBBE)

4. The children of Israel did so, and put them outside of the camp; as the Lord spoke to Moses, so did the children of Israel.

5. The Lord spoke to Moses, saying,

6. “Speak to the children of Israel: ‘When a man or woman commits any sin that men commit, so as to trespass against the Lord, and that soul is guilty,

7. then he shall confess his sin which he has done; and he shall make restitution for his guilt in full, add to it the fifth part of it, and give it to him in respect of whom he has been guilty.

8. But if the man has no kinsman to whom restitution may be made for the guilt, the restitution for guilt which is made to the Lord shall be the priest’s, in addition to the ram of the atonement, by which atonement shall be made for him.

9. Every heave offering of all the holy things of the children of Israel, which they present to the priest, shall be his.

10. Every man’s holy things shall be his; whatever any man gives the priest, it shall be his.’”

11. The Lord spoke to Moses, saying,

12. “Speak to the children of Israel, and tell them: ‘If any man’s wife goes astray and is unfaithful to him,

13. and a man lies with her carnally, and it is hidden from the eyes of her husband and this is kept concealed, and she is defiled, there is no witness against her, and she isn’t taken in the act;

14. and the spirit of jealousy comes on him, and he is jealous of his wife and she is defiled; or if the spirit of jealousy comes on him, and he is jealous of his wife and she isn’t defiled;

15. then the man shall bring his wife to the priest, and shall bring her offering for her: one tenth of an efah of barley meal. He shall pour no oil on it, nor put frankincense on it, for it is a meal offering of jealousy, a meal offering of memorial, bringing iniquity to memory.

16. The priest shall bring her near, and set her before the Lord;

17. and the priest shall take holy water in an earthen vessel; and the priest shall take some of the dust that is on the floor of the tabernacle and put it into the water.
