5:1 Then the Lord <03068> spoke <01696> to <0413> Moses <04872>: 5:2 “Command <06680> the Israelites <03478> <01121> to expel <07971> from <04480> the camp <04264> every <03605> leper <06879>, everyone <03605> who has a discharge <02100>, and whoever <03605> becomes defiled <02931> by a corpse <05315>. 5:3 You must expel <07971> both men <02145> and women <05347>; you must put <07971> them outside <02351> the camp <04264>, so that they will not <03808> defile <02930> their camps <04264>, among <08432> which <0834> I <0589> live <07931>.” 5:4 So <03651> the Israelites <03478> <01121> did <06213> so, and expelled <07971> them outside <02351> the camp <04264>. As <0834> the Lord <03068> had spoken <01696> to <0413> Moses <04872>, so <03651> the Israelites <03478> <01121> did <06213>. 5:5 Then the Lord <03068> spoke <01696> to <0413> Moses <04872>: 5:6 “Tell <01696> the Israelites <03478> <01121>, ‘When <03588> a man <0376> or <0176> a woman <0802> commits <06213> any <03605> sin <02403> that people <0120> commit <04603>, thereby breaking faith <04604> with the Lord <03068>, and that <01931> person <05315> is found guilty <0816>, 5:7 then he must confess <03034> his sin <02403> that <0834> he has committed <06213> and must make full <07218> reparation <0817>, add <03254> one fifth <02549> to it, and give <05414> it to whomever <0834> he wronged <0816>. 5:8 But if <0518> the individual <0376> has no <0369> close relative <01350> to whom reparation <07725> can be made for the wrong <0817>, the reparation <07725> for the wrong <0817> must be paid to the Lord <03068> for the priest <03548>, in addition <0905> to the ram <0352> of atonement <03725> by which <0834> atonement <03722> is made for <05921> him. 5:9 Every <03605> offering <08641> of all <03605> the Israelites <03478> <01121>’ holy things <06944> that <0834> they bring <07126> to the priest <03548> will be <01961> his. 5:10 Every man’s <0376> holy things <06944> will be <01961> his; whatever <0834> any man <0376> gives <05414> the priest <03548> will be <01961> his.’” 5:11 The Lord <03068> spoke <01696> to <0413> Moses <04872>: 5:12 “Speak <01696> to <0413> the Israelites <03478> <01121> and tell <0559> them, ‘If any <0376> man’s <0376> wife <0802> goes astray <07847> and behaves <04603> unfaithfully <04604> toward him, 5:13 and a man <0376> has sexual relations <02233> <07902> <07901> with <0854> her without <05869> <05956> her husband <0376> knowing <05869> <05956> it, and it is hidden <05641> that she <01931> has defiled <02930> herself, since there was no <0369> witness <05707> against her <01931>, nor <03808> was she caught <08610>– 5:14 and if jealous <07068> feelings <07307> come <05674> over <05921> him and he becomes suspicious <07065> of his wife <0802>, when she is defiled <02930>; or <0176> if jealous <07068> feelings <07307> come <05674> over <05921> him and he becomes suspicious <07065> of his wife <0802>, when she is not <03808> defiled <02930>– 5:15 then the man <0376> must bring <0935> his wife <0802> to <0413> the priest <03548>, and he must bring <0935> the offering <07133> required for her, one tenth <06224> of an ephah <0374> of barley <08184> meal <07058>; he must not <03808> pour <03332> olive oil <08081> on <05921> it or <03808> put <05414> frankincense <03828> on <05921> it, because <03588> it is a grain offering <04503> of suspicion <07068>, a grain offering <04503> for remembering <02146>, for bringing iniquity <05771> to remembrance <02142>. 5:16 “‘Then the priest <03548> will bring <07126> her near <07126> and have her stand <05975> before <06440> the Lord <03069>. 5:17 The priest <03548> will then take <03947> holy <06918> water <04325> in a pottery <03627> jar <02789>, and take <03947> some of <04480> the dust <06083> that <0834> is <01961> on the floor <07172> of the tabernacle <04908>, and put <05414> it into <0413> the water <04325>. 5:18 Then the priest <03548> will have the woman <0802> stand <05975> before <06440> the Lord <03068>, uncover <06544> the woman’s <0802> head <07218>, and put <05414> the grain offering <04503> for remembering <02146> in her hands <03709>, which is the grain offering <04503> of suspicion <07068>. The priest <03548> will hold in his hand <03027> the bitter <04751> water <04325> that brings a curse <0779>. 5:19 Then the priest <03548> will put the woman <0802> under oath <07650> and say <0559> to <0413> the her, “If <0518> no <03808> other man <0376> has <07901> had sexual relations <07901> with <0854> you, and if <0518> you have not <03808> gone astray <07847> and become defiled <02932> while under <08478> your husband’s <0376> authority, may you be free <05352> from this <0428> bitter <04751> water <04325> that brings a curse <0779>.
