* And the LORD spoke to Moses , saying , * Command the sons of Israel that they put out of the camp every leper and everyone that has an issue , and whoever is defiled by a dead body . * You shall put out both male and female . You shall put them outside the camp so that they do not defile their camps in the midst of which I dwell . * And the sons of Israel did so , and put them out outside the camp . Even as the LORD spoke to Moses , so the sons of Israel did . * And the LORD spoke to Moses , saying , * Speak to the sons of Israel : When a man or woman shall commit any sin that men commit , to commit a trespass against the LORD , and that person is guilty , * then they shall confess their sin which they have done . And he shall make restitution for his guilt in full , and add to it one fifth of it , and give [it ] to him against whom he has sinned . * But if the man has no kinsman to whom he may make restitution for the guilt , the guilt which is restored [shall be ] given to the LORD , to the priest , besides the ram of the atonement by which an atonement shall be made for him . * And every offering of all the holy things of the sons of Israel which they shall bring to the priest , shall be his . * And every man 's devoted things shall be his . Whatever any man gives the priest , it shall be his . * And the LORD spoke to Moses , saying , * Speak to the sons of Israel and say to them , If any man 's wife goes astray , and has committed a trespass against him , * and a man lie with her carnally , and if it is hidden from the eyes of her husband and is kept hidden , and she is defiled , and [there is ] no witness against her , neither is she taken in the act ; * and if the spirit of jealousy comes upon him and he is jealous of his wife , and she is defiled -- or if the spirit of jealousy comes upon him and he is jealous of his wife , and she is not defiled -- * then the man shall bring his wife to the priest . And he shall bring her offering for her , the tenth of an ephah of barley meal . He shall pour no oil upon it , nor put frankincense on it , for it [ is ] an offering of jealousy , a reminding offering , bringing iniquity to mind . * And the priest shall bring her near and set her before the LORD . * And the priest shall take holy water in an earthen vessel . And the priest shall take of the dust that is in the floor of the tabernacle and put [it ] into the water . * And the priest shall set the woman before the LORD , and uncover the woman 's head , and put the reminding offering in her hands , which [is ] the jealousy offering . And the priest shall have in his hand the bitter water that causes the curse . * And the priest shall charge her by an oath , and say to the woman , If no man has lain with you , and if you have not gone aside to uncleanness , being under your husband , you are free from this bitter water that causes the curse . * But if you have gone aside , being under your husband , and if you are defiled and some man besides your husband has given his semen to you , * then the priest shall charge the woman with an oath of cursing . And the priest shall say to the woman , The LORD make you a curse and an oath among your people , when the LORD makes your thigh to fall away and your belly to swell . * And this water that causes the curse shall go into your bowels to make [your ] belly swell and your thigh fall away . And the woman shall say , Amen , amen . * And the priest shall write these curses in a book , and he shall blot [them ] out with the bitter water . * And he shall cause the woman to drink the bitter water that causes the curse . And the water that causes the curse shall enter into her [and become ] bitter . * Then the priest shall take the jealousy offering out of the woman 's hand and shall wave the offering before the LORD , and offer it upon the altar . * And the priest shall take a handful of the offering , as a memorial of it , and burn [it ] upon the altar , and afterward [he ] shall cause the woman to drink the water . * And when he has made her drink the water , then it shall be , if she is defiled and has committed a trespass against her husband , the water that causes the curse shall enter into her and [become bitter ]. And her belly shall swell , and her thigh shall fall away . And the woman shall be a curse among her people . * And if the woman is not defiled , but is clean , then she shall be clean , and shall conceive seed . * This [is ] the law of jealousies when a woman goes aside , being under her husband , and is defiled . * Or when the spirit of jealousy comes on a man , and he is jealous over his wife , and shall set the woman before the LORD , and the priest shall execute upon her all this law . * Then shall the man be guiltless from iniquity , and the woman shall bear her iniquity .
