BEMIḎBAR 5 (Numbers 5)

1 And 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 spoke to Mosheh, saying,

2 “Command the children of Yisra’ĕl to send out of the camp every leper, and everyone who has a discharge, and whoever becomes defiled for a being.

3 “Send out both male and female, send them outside the camp, so that they do not defile their camps in the midst of which I dwell.”

4 And the children of Yisra’ĕl did so, to send them outside the camp. As 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 had spoken to Mosheh, so the children of Yisra’ĕl did.

5 And 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 spoke to Mosheh, saying,

6 “Speak to the children of Yisra’ĕl, ‘When a man or woman commits any sin that men commit in trespass against 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄, and that being is guilty,

7 then they shall confess their sin which they have done. And he shall restore his guilt in its principal, plus one-fifth of it, and give it to whom he has been guilty.

8 ‘But if the man has no relative to restore the guilt to, the guilt which is restored goes to 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄, for the kohĕn, in addition to the ram of the atonement with which atonement is made for him.

9 ‘And every contribution of all the qodesh gifts of the children of Yisra’ĕl, which they bring to the kohĕn, becomes his.

10 ‘And every man’s qodesh gifts becomes his, whatever any man gives the kohĕn becomes his.’ ”

11 And 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 spoke to Mosheh, saying,

12 “Speak to the children of Yisra’ĕl, and say to them, ‘When any man’s wife turns aside and has committed a trespass against him,

13 and a man has intercourse with her, and it is hidden from the eyes of her husband, and it is concealed that she has defiled herself, and there was no witness against her, nor was she caught,

14 and a spirit of jealousy comes upon him and he becomes jealous of his wife who has defiled herself, or a spirit of jealousy comes upon him and he becomes jealous of his wife although she has not defiled herself,

15 then the man shall bring his wife to the kohĕn. And he shall bring the offering for her, one-tenth of an ĕphah of barley flour. He is not to pour oil on it or put frankincense on it, because it is a grain offering of jealousy, an offering for remembering, for bringing wickedness to remembrance.

16 ‘And the kohĕn shall bring her near, and shall make her stand before 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄.

17 ‘And the kohĕn shall take qodesh water in an earthen vessel, and take some of the dust that is on the floor of the Mishkan and put it into the water.

18 ‘And the kohĕn shall make the woman stand before 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄, and shall uncover the woman’s head, and put the offering for remembering in her hands, which is the grain offering of jealousy, while the kohĕn holds in his hand the bitter water that brings a curse.

19 ‘And the kohĕn shall make her swear, and say to the woman, “If no man has lain with you, and if you have not turned aside to uncleanness under your husband, be free from this bitter water that brings a curse.

20 “But if you have turned aside under your husband, and if you have defiled yourself and some man other than your husband has lain with you”-

21 then the kohĕn shall make the woman swear with the oath of the curse, and he shall say to the woman – “𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 make you a curse and an oath among your people, when 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 makes your thigh waste away and your abdomen swell,

22 and this water that causes the curse shall go into your inward parts, and make your abdomen swell and your thigh waste away.” And the woman shall say, “Amĕn, amĕn.”

23 ‘And the kohĕn shall write these curses in a book, and shall wipe them off into the bitter water,

24 and shall make the woman drink the bitter water that brings the curse, and the water that brings the curse shall enter her to become bitter.

25 ‘And the kohĕn shall take the grain offering of jealousy from the woman’s hand, and shall wave the offering before 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄, and bring it to the altar.

26 ‘And the kohĕn shall take a hand filled with the offering, as its remembrance offering, and burn it on the altar, and afterward make the woman drink the water.

27 ‘And when he has made her drink the water, then it shall be, if she has defiled herself and has committed a trespass against her husband, that the water that brings the curse shall enter her and become bitter, and her abdomen shall swell, and her thigh shall waste away, and the woman shall become a curse among her people.

28 ‘But if the woman has not defiled herself, and is clean, then she shall be clear and shall conceive children.

29 ‘This is the Torah of jealousy, when a wife turns aside under her husband and defiles herself,

30 or when a spirit of jealousy comes upon a man, and he becomes jealous of his wife. Then he shall make the woman stand before 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄, and the kohĕn shall do to her all this Torah.

31 ‘And the man shall be clear from wickedness, but the woman bear her wickedness.’ ”
