Numbers:5-8
Seeker Overlay ON
*
And the LORD spake unto Moses ,
saying ,
*
Command the children of Israel ,
that they put out of the camp every leper ,
and every one that hath an issue ,
and whosoever is defiled by the dead :
*
Both male and female shall ye put out ,
without the camp shall ye put them ;
that they defile not their camps ,
in the midst whereof I dwell .
*
And the children of Israel did so ,
and put them out without the camp :
as the LORD spake unto Moses ,
so did the children of Israel .
*
And the LORD spake unto Moses ,
saying ,
*
Speak unto the children of Israel ,
When a man or woman shall commit any sin that men commit ,
to do a trespass against the LORD ,
and that person be guilty ;
*
Then they shall confess their sin which they have done :
and he shall recompense his trespass with the principal thereof ,
and add unto it the fifth part thereof ,
and give it unto him against whom he hath trespassed .
*
But if the man have no kinsman to recompense the trespass unto ,
let the trespass be recompensed unto the LORD ,
even to the priest ;
beside the ram of the atonement ,
whereby an atonement shall be made for him .
*
And every offering of all the holy things of the children of Israel ,
which they bring unto the priest ,
shall be his .
*
And every man '
s hallowed things shall be his :
whatsoever any man giveth the priest ,
it shall be his .
*
And the LORD spake unto Moses ,
saying ,
*
Speak unto the children of Israel ,
and say unto them ,
If any man '
s wife go aside ,
and commit a trespass against him ,
*
And a man lie with her carnally ,
and it be hid from the eyes of her husband ,
and be kept close ,
and she be defiled ,
and there be no witness against her ,
neither she be taken with the manner ;
*
And the spirit of jealousy come upon him ,
and he be jealous of his wife ,
and she be defiled :
or if the spirit of jealousy come upon him ,
and he be jealous of his wife ,
and she be not defiled :
*
Then shall the man bring his wife unto the priest ,
and he shall bring her offering for her ,
the tenth part of an ephah of barley meal ;
he shall pour no oil upon it ,
nor put frankincense thereon ;
for it is an offering of jealousy ,
an offering of memorial ,
bringing iniquity to remembrance .
*
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 of the dust that is in the floor of the tabernacle the priest shall take ,
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 offering of memorial in her hands ,
which is the jealousy offering :
and the priest shall have in his hand the bitter water that causeth the curse :
*
And the priest shall charge her by an oath ,
and say unto the woman ,
If no man have lain with thee ,
and if thou hast not gone aside to uncleanness with another instead of thy husband ,
be thou free from this bitter water that causeth the curse :
*
But if thou hast gone aside to another instead of thy husband ,
and if thou be defiled ,
and some man have lain with thee beside thine husband :
*
Then the priest shall charge the woman with an oath of cursing ,
and the priest shall say unto the woman ,
The LORD make thee a curse and an oath among thy people ,
when the LORD doth make thy thigh to rot ,
and thy belly to swell ;
*
And this water that causeth the curse shall go into thy bowels ,
to make thy belly to swell ,
and thy thigh to rot :
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 causeth the curse :
and the water that causeth 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 an handful of the offering ,
even the memorial thereof ,
and burn it upon the altar ,
and afterward shall cause the woman to drink the water .
*
And when he hath made her to drink the water ,
then it shall come to pass ,
that ,
if she be defiled ,
and have done trespass against her husband ,
that the water that causeth the curse shall enter into her ,
and become bitter ,
and her belly shall swell ,
and her thigh shall rot :
and the woman shall be a curse among her people .
*
And if the woman be not defiled ,
but be clean ;
then she shall be free ,
and shall conceive seed .
*
This is the law of jealousies ,
when a wife goeth aside to another instead of her husband ,
and is defiled ;
*
Or when the spirit of jealousy cometh upon him ,
and he be 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 this woman shall bear her iniquity .
*
And the LORD spake unto Moses ,
saying ,
*
Speak unto the children of Israel ,
and say unto them ,
When either man or woman shall separate themselves to vow a vow of a Nazarite ,
to separate themselves unto the LORD :
*
He shall separate himself from wine and strong drink ,
and shall drink no vinegar of wine ,
or vinegar of strong drink ,
neither shall he drink any liquor of grapes ,
nor eat moist grapes ,
or dried .
*
All the days of his separation shall he eat nothing that is made of the vine tree ,
from the kernels even to the husk .
*
All the days of the vow of his separation there shall no razor come upon his head :
until the days be fulfilled ,
in the which he separateth himself unto the LORD ,
he shall be holy ,
and shall let the locks of the hair of his head grow .
*
All the days that he separateth himself unto the LORD he shall come at no dead body .
*
He shall not make himself unclean for his father ,
or for his mother ,
for his brother ,
or for his sister ,
when they die :
because the consecration of his God is upon his head .
*
All the days of his separation he is holy unto the LORD .
*
And if any man die very suddenly by him ,
and he hath defiled the head of his consecration ;
then he shall shave his head in the day of his cleansing ,
on the seventh day shall he shave it .
*
And on the eighth day he shall bring two turtles ,
or two young pigeons ,
to the priest ,
to the door of the tabernacle of the congregation :
*
And the priest shall offer the one for a sin offering ,
and the other for a burnt offering ,
and make an atonement for him ,
for that he sinned by the dead ,
and shall hallow his head that same day .
*
And he shall consecrate unto the LORD the days of his separation ,
and shall bring a lamb of the first year for a trespass offering :
but the days that were before shall be lost ,
because his separation was defiled .
*
And this is the law of the Nazarite ,
when the days of his separation are fulfilled :
he shall be brought unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation :
*
And he shall offer his offering unto the LORD ,
one he lamb of the first year without blemish for a burnt offering ,
and one ewe lamb of the first year without blemish for a sin offering ,
and one ram without blemish for peace offerings ,
*
And a basket of unleavened bread ,
cakes of fine flour mingled with oil ,
and wafers of unleavened bread anointed with oil ,
and their meat offering ,
and their drink offerings .
*
And the priest shall bring them before the LORD ,
and shall offer his sin offering ,
and his burnt offering :
*
And he shall offer the ram for a sacrifice of peace offerings unto the LORD ,
with the basket of unleavened bread :
the priest shall offer also his meat offering ,
and his drink offering .
*
And the Nazarite shall shave the head of his separation at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation ,
and shall take the hair of the head of his separation ,
and put it in the fire which is under the sacrifice of the peace offerings .
*
And the priest shall take the sodden shoulder of the ram ,
and one unleavened cake out of the basket ,
and one unleavened wafer ,
and shall put them upon the hands of the Nazarite ,
after the hair of his separation is shaven :
*
And the priest shall wave them for a wave offering before the LORD :
this is holy for the priest ,
with the wave breast and heave shoulder :
and after that the Nazarite may drink wine .
*
This is the law of the Nazarite who hath vowed ,
and of his offering unto the LORD for his separation ,
beside that that his hand shall get :
according to the vow which he vowed ,
so he must do after the law of his separation .
*
And the LORD spake unto Moses ,
saying ,
*
Speak unto Aaron and unto his sons ,
saying ,
On this wise ye shall bless the children of Israel ,
saying unto them ,
*
The LORD bless thee ,
and keep thee :
*
The LORD make his face shine upon thee ,
and be gracious unto thee :
*
The LORD lift up his countenance upon thee ,
and give thee peace .
*
And they shall put my name upon the children of Israel ;
and I will bless them .
*
And it came to pass on the day that Moses had fully set up the tabernacle ,
and had anointed it ,
and sanctified it ,
and all the instruments thereof ,
both the altar and all the vessels thereof ,
and had anointed them ,
and sanctified them ;
*
That the princes of Israel ,
heads of the house of their fathers ,
who were the princes of the tribes ,
and were over them that were numbered ,
offered :
*
And they brought their offering before the LORD ,
six covered wagons ,
and twelve oxen ;
a wagon for two of the princes ,
and for each one an ox :
and they brought them before the tabernacle .
*
And the LORD spake unto Moses ,
saying ,
*
Take it of them ,
that they may be to do the service of the tabernacle of the congregation ;
and thou shalt give them unto the Levites ,
to every man according to his service .
*
And Moses took the wagons and the oxen ,
and gave them unto the Levites .
*
Two wagons and four oxen he gave unto the sons of Gershon ,
according to their service :
*
And four wagons and eight oxen he gave unto the sons of Merari ,
according unto their service ,
under the hand of Ithamar the son of Aaron the priest .
*
But unto the sons of Kohath he gave none :
because the service of the sanctuary belonging unto them was that they should bear upon their shoulders .
*
And the princes offered for dedicating of the altar in the day that it was anointed ,
even the princes offered their offering before the altar .
*
And the LORD said unto Moses ,
They shall offer their offering ,
each prince on his day ,
for the dedicating of the altar .

*
And when Moses was gone into the tabernacle of the congregation to speak with him ,
then he heard the voice of one speaking unto him from off the mercy seat that was upon the ark of testimony ,
from between the two cherubims :
and he spake unto him .
*
And the LORD spake unto Moses ,
saying ,
*
Speak unto Aaron ,
and say unto him ,
When thou lightest the lamps ,
the seven lamps shall give light over against the candlestick .
*
And Aaron did so ;
he lighted the lamps thereof over against the candlestick ,
as the LORD commanded Moses .
*
And this work of the candlestick was of beaten gold ,
unto the shaft thereof ,
unto the flowers thereof ,
was beaten work :
according unto the pattern which the LORD had shewed Moses ,
so he made the candlestick .
*
And the LORD spake unto Moses ,
saying ,
*
Take the Levites from among the children of Israel ,
and cleanse them .
*
And thus shalt thou do unto them ,
to cleanse them :
Sprinkle water of purifying upon them ,
and let them shave all their flesh ,
and let them wash their clothes ,
and so make themselves clean .
*
Then let them take a young bullock with his meat offering ,
even fine flour mingled with oil ,
and another young bullock shalt thou take for a sin offering .
*
And thou shalt bring the Levites before the tabernacle of the congregation :
and thou shalt gather the whole assembly of the children of Israel together :
*
And thou shalt bring the Levites before the LORD :
and the children of Israel shall put their hands upon the Levites :
*
And Aaron shall offer the Levites before the LORD for an offering of the children of Israel ,
that they may execute the service of the LORD .
*
And the Levites shall lay their hands upon the heads of the bullocks :
and thou shalt offer the one for a sin offering ,
and the other for a burnt offering ,
unto the LORD ,
to make an atonement for the Levites .
*
And thou shalt set the Levites before Aaron ,
and before his sons ,
and offer them for an offering unto the LORD .
*
Thus shalt thou separate the Levites from among the children of Israel :
and the Levites shall be mine .
*
And after that shall the Levites go in to do the service of the tabernacle of the congregation :
and thou shalt cleanse them ,
and offer them for an offering .
*
For they are wholly given unto me from among the children of Israel ;
instead of such as open every womb ,
even instead of the firstborn of all the children of Israel ,
have I taken them unto me .
*
For all the firstborn of the children of Israel are mine ,
both man and beast :
on the day that I smote every firstborn in the land of Egypt I sanctified them for myself .
*
And I have taken the Levites for all the firstborn of the children of Israel .
*
And I have given the Levites as a gift to Aaron and to his sons from among the children of Israel ,
to do the service of the children of Israel in the tabernacle of the congregation ,
and to make an atonement for the children of Israel :
that there be no plague among the children of Israel ,
when the children of Israel come nigh unto the sanctuary .
*
And Moses ,
and Aaron ,
and all the congregation of the children of Israel ,
did to the Levites according unto all that the LORD commanded Moses concerning the Levites ,
so did the children of Israel unto them .
*
And the Levites were purified ,
and they washed their clothes ;
and Aaron offered them as an offering before the LORD ;
and Aaron made an atonement for them to cleanse them .
*
And after that went the Levites in to do their service in the tabernacle of the congregation before Aaron ,
and before his sons :
as the LORD had commanded Moses concerning the Levites ,
so did they unto them .
*
And the LORD spake unto Moses ,
saying ,
*
This is it that belongeth unto the Levites :
from twenty and five years old and upward they shall go in to wait upon the service of the tabernacle of the congregation :
*
And from the age of fifty years they shall cease waiting upon the service thereof ,
and shall serve no more :
*
But shall minister with their brethren in the tabernacle of the congregation ,
to keep the charge ,
and shall do no service .
Thus shalt thou do unto the Levites touching their charge .
*
And the LORD spake unto Moses in the wilderness of Sinai ,
in the first month of the second year after they were come out of the land of Egypt ,
saying ,
