Numbers
5, 6
Num
5:1 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
Num
5:2 "Command the children of Israel that they put out of the
camp every leper, and everyone who has an issue, and whoever is
unclean by the dead.
Num
5:3 Both you shall put male and female outside of the camp; that
they not defile their camp, in the midst of which I dwell."
Num
5:4 The children of Israel did so, and put them out outside of the
camp; as Yahweh spoke to Moses, so did the children of Israel.
Num
5:5 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
Num
5:6 "Speak to the children of Israel: When a man or woman
commits any sin that men commit, so as to trespass against Yahweh,
and that soul is guilty;
Num
5:7 then he shall confess his sin which he has done, and he shall
make restitution for his guilt in full, and add to it the fifth part
of it, and give it to him in respect of whom he has been guilty.
Num
5:8 But if the man has no kinsman to whom restitution may be made
for the guilt, the restitution for guilt which is made to Yahweh
shall be the priest's; besides the ram of the atonement, by which
atonement shall be made for him.
Num
5:9 Every heave offering of all the holy things of the children of
Israel, which they present to the priest, shall be his.
Num
5:10 Every man's holy things shall be his: whatever any man gives
the priest, it shall be his."
Num
5:11 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
Num
5:12 "Speak to the children of Israel, and tell them: If any
man's wife goes astray, and is unfaithful to him,
Num
5:13 and a man lies with her carnally, and it is hidden from the
eyes of her husband, and is kept close, and she is defiled, and there
is no witness against her, and she isn't taken in the act;
Num
5:14 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:
Num
5:15 then the man shall bring his wife to the priest, and shall
bring her offering for her: the tenth part of an ephah 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.
Num
5:16 The priest shall bring her near, and set her before Yahweh;
Num
5:17 and the priest shall take holy water in an earthen vessel; and
of the dust that is on the floor of the tabernacle the priest shall
take, and put it into the water.
Num
5:18 The priest shall set the woman before Yahweh, and let the hair
of the woman's head go loose, and put the meal offering of memorial
in her hands, which is the meal offering of jealousy. The priest
shall have in his hand the water of bitterness that brings a curse.
Num
5:19 The priest shall cause her to swear, and shall tell the woman,
'If no man has lain with you, and if you haven't gone aside to
uncleanness, being under your husband, be free from this water of
bitterness that brings a curse.
Num
5:20 But if you have gone astray, being under your husband, and if
you are defiled, and some man has lain with you besides your
husband:'
Num
5:21 then the priest shall cause the woman to swear with the oath of
cursing, and the priest shall tell the woman, 'Yahweh make you a
curse and an oath among your people, when Yahweh allows your thigh to
fall away, and your body to swell;
Num
5:22 and this water that brings a curse will go into your bowels,
and make your body swell, and your thigh fall away.' The woman shall
say, 'Amen, Amen.'
Num
5:23 "The priest shall write these curses in a book, and he
shall blot them out into the water of bitterness.
Num
5:24 He shall make the woman drink the water of bitterness that
causes the curse; and the water that causes the curse shall enter
into her and become bitter.
Num
5:25 The priest shall take the meal offering of jealousy out of the
woman's hand, and shall wave the meal offering before Yahweh, and
bring it to the altar.
Num
5:26 The priest shall take a handful of the meal offering, as its
memorial, and burn it on the altar, and afterward shall make the
woman drink the water.
Num
5:27 When he has made her drink the water, then it shall happen, if
she is defiled, and has committed a trespass against her husband,
that the water that causes the curse will enter into her and become
bitter, and her body will swell, and her thigh will fall away: and
the woman will be a curse among her people.
Num
5:28 If the woman isn't defiled, but is clean; then she shall be
free, and shall conceive seed.
Num
5:29 "This is the law of jealousy, when a wife, being under her
husband, goes astray, and is defiled;
Num
5:30 or when the spirit of jealousy comes on a man, and he is
jealous of his wife; then he shall set the woman before Yahweh, and
the priest shall execute on her all this law.
Num
5:31 The man shall be free from iniquity, and that woman shall bear
her iniquity."
Num
6:1 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
Num
6:2 "Speak to the children of Israel, and tell them: When
either man or woman shall make a special vow, the vow of a Nazirite,
to separate himself to Yahweh,
Num
6:3 he shall separate himself from wine and strong drink. He shall
drink no vinegar of wine, or vinegar of fermented drink, neither
shall he drink any juice of grapes, nor eat fresh grapes or dried.
Num
6:4 All the days of his separation he shall eat nothing that is made
of the grapevine, from the seeds even to the skins.
Num
6:5 "All the days of his vow of separation there shall no razor
come on his head, until the days are fulfilled, in which he separates
himself to Yahweh. He shall be holy. He shall let the locks of the
hair of his head grow long.
Num
6:6 "All the days that he separates himself to Yahweh he shall
not go near a dead body.
Num
6:7 He shall not make himself unclean for his father, or for his
mother, for his brother, or for his sister, when they die; because
his separation to God is on his head.
Num
6:8 All the days of his separation he is holy to Yahweh.
Num
6:9 "If any man dies very suddenly beside him, and he defiles
the head of his separation; then he shall shave his head in the day
of his cleansing. On the seventh day he shall shave it.
Num
6:10 On the eighth day he shall bring two turtledoves or two young
pigeons to the priest, to the door of the Tent of Meeting.
Num
6:11 The priest shall offer one for a sin offering, and the other
for a burnt offering, and make atonement for him, because he sinned
by reason of the dead, and shall make his head holy that same day.
Num
6:12 He shall separate to Yahweh the days of his separation, and
shall bring a male lamb a year old for a trespass offering; but the
former days shall be void, because his separation was defiled.
Num
6:13 "This is the law of the Nazirite: when the days of his
separation are fulfilled, he shall be brought to the door of the Tent
of Meeting,
Num
6:14 and he shall offer his offering to Yahweh, one male lamb a year
old without blemish for a burnt offering, and one ewe lamb a year old
without blemish for a sin offering, and one ram without blemish for
peace offerings,
Num
6:15 and a basket of unleavened bread, cakes of fine flour mixed
with oil, and unleavened wafers anointed with oil, and their meal
offering, and their drink offerings.
Num
6:16 The priest shall present them before Yahweh, and shall offer
his sin offering, and his burnt offering.
Num
6:17 He shall offer the ram for a sacrifice of peace offerings to
Yahweh, with the basket of unleavened bread. The priest shall offer
also its meal offering, and its drink offering.
Num
6:18 The Nazirite shall shave the head of his separation at the door
of the Tent of Meeting, and shall take the hair of the head of his
separation, and put it on the fire which is under the sacrifice of
peace offerings.
Num
6:19 The priest shall take the boiled shoulder of the ram, and one
unleavened cake out of the basket, and one unleavened wafer, and
shall put them on the hands of the Nazirite, after he has shaved the
head of his separation;
Num
6:20 and the priest shall wave them for a wave offering before
Yahweh. This is holy for the priest, together with the breast that is
waved and the thigh that is offered. After that the Nazirite may
drink wine.
Num
6:21 "This is the law of the Nazirite who vows, and of his
offering to Yahweh for his separation, besides that which he is able
to get. According to his vow which he vows, so he must do after the
law of his separation."
Num
6:22 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
Num
6:23 "Speak to Aaron and to his sons, saying, 'This is how you
shall bless the children of Israel.' You shall tell them,
Num
6:24 'Yahweh bless you, and keep you.
Num
6:25 Yahweh make his face to shine on you, and be gracious to you.
Num
6:26 Yahweh lift up his face toward you, and give you peace.'
Num
6:27 "So they shall put my name on the children of Israel; and
I will bless them."
