Numbers 5 (WEBP)

[1] Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
[2] “Command the children of Israel that they put out of the camp every leper, everyone who has a discharge, and whoever is unclean by a corpse.
[3] You shall put both male and female outside of the camp so that they don’t defile their camp, in the midst of which I dwell.”
[4] The children of Israel did so, and put them outside of the camp; as Yahweh spoke to Moses, so the children of Israel did.
[5] Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
[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,
[7] then he shall confess his sin which he has done; and he shall make restitution for his guilt in full, add to it the fifth part of it, and give it to him in respect of whom he has been guilty.
[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, in addition to the ram of the atonement, by which atonement shall be made for him.
[9] Every heave offering of all the holy things of the children of Israel, which they present to the priest, shall be his.
[10] Every man’s holy things shall be his; whatever any man gives the priest, it shall be his.’ ”
[11] Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
[12] “Speak to the children of Israel, and tell them: ‘If any man’s wife goes astray and is unfaithful to him,
[13] and a man lies with her carnally, and it is hidden from the eyes of her husband and this is kept concealed, and she is defiled, there is no witness against her, and she isn’t taken in the act;
[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;
[15] then the man shall bring his wife to the priest, and shall bring her offering for her: one tenth 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.
[16] The priest shall bring her near, and set her before Yahweh.
[17] The priest shall take holy water in an earthen vessel; and the priest shall take some of the dust that is on the floor of the tabernacle and put it into the water.
[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.
[19] The priest shall cause her to take an oath 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’s authority, be free from this water of bitterness that brings a curse.
[20] But if you have gone astray, being under your husband’s authority, and if you are defiled, and some man has lain with you besides your husband—”
[21] then the priest shall cause the woman to swear with the oath of cursing, and the priest shall tell the woman, “May Yahweh make you a curse and an oath among your people, when Yahweh allows your thigh to fall away, and your body to swell;
[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.”
[23] “ ‘The priest shall write these curses in a book, and he shall wipe them into the water of bitterness.
[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.
[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.
[26] The priest shall take a handful of the meal offering, as its memorial portion, and burn it on the altar, and afterward shall make the woman drink the water.
[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.
[28] If the woman isn’t defiled, but is clean; then she shall be free, and shall conceive offspring.
[29] “ ‘This is the law of jealousy, when a wife, being under her husband, goes astray, and is defiled,
[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.
[31] The man shall be free from iniquity, and that woman shall bear her iniquity.’ ”

[1] και ελαλησεν κυριος προς μωυσην λεγων
[2] προσταξον τοις υιοις ισραηλ και εξαποστειλατωσαν εκ της παρεμβολης παντα λεπρον και παντα γονορρυη και παντα ακαθαρτον επι ψυχη
[3] απο αρσενικου εως θηλυκου εξαποστειλατε εξω της παρεμβολης και ου μη μιανουσιν τας παρεμβολας αυτων εν οις εγω καταγινομαι εν αυτοις
[4] και εποιησαν ουτως οι υιοι ισραηλ και εξαπεστειλαν αυτους εξω της παρεμβολης καθα ελαλησεν κυριος τω μωυση ουτως εποιησαν οι υιοι ισραηλ
[5] και ελαλησεν κυριος προς μωυσην λεγων
[6] λαλησον τοις υιοις ισραηλ λεγων ανηρ η γυνη οστις εαν ποιηση απο των αμαρτιων των ανθρωπινων και παριδων παριδη και πλημμεληση η ψυχη εκεινη
[7] εξαγορευσει την αμαρτιαν ην εποιησεν και αποδωσει την πλημμελειαν το κεφαλαιον και το επιπεμπτον αυτου προσθησει επ αυτο και αποδωσει τινι επλημμελησεν αυτω
[8] εαν δε μη η τω ανθρωπω ο αγχιστευων ωστε αποδουναι αυτω το πλημμελημα προς αυτον το πλημμελημα το αποδιδομενον κυριω τω ιερει εσται πλην του κριου του ιλασμου δι ου εξιλασεται εν αυτω περι αυτου
[9] και πασα απαρχη κατα παντα τα αγιαζομενα εν υιοις ισραηλ οσα αν προσφερωσιν τω κυριω τω ιερει αυτω εσται
[10] και εκαστου τα ηγιασμενα αυτου εσται ανηρ ος εαν δω τω ιερει αυτω εσται
[11] και ελαλησεν κυριος προς μωυσην λεγων
[12] λαλησον τοις υιοις ισραηλ και ερεις προς αυτους ανδρος ανδρος εαν παραβη η γυνη αυτου και παριδη αυτον υπεριδουσα
[13] και κοιμηθη τις μετ αυτης κοιτην σπερματος και λαθη εξ οφθαλμων του ανδρος αυτης και κρυψη αυτη δε η μεμιαμμενη και μαρτυς μη ην μετ αυτης και αυτη μη η συνειλημμενη

[21] και ορκιει ο ιερευς την γυναικα εν τοις ορκοις της αρας ταυτης και ερει ο ιερευς τη γυναικι δωη κυριος σε εν αρα και ενορκιον εν μεσω του λαου σου εν τω δουναι κυριον τον μηρον σου διαπεπτωκοτα και την κοιλιαν σου πεπρησμενην
[22] και εισελευσεται το υδωρ το επικαταρωμενον τουτο εις την κοιλιαν σου πρησαι γαστερα και διαπεσειν μηρον σου και ερει η γυνη γενοιτο γενοιτο
[23] και γραψει ο ιερευς τας αρας ταυτας εις βιβλιον και εξαλειψει εις το υδωρ του ελεγμου του επικαταρωμενου

[25] και λημψεται ο ιερευς εκ χειρος της γυναικος την θυσιαν της ζηλοτυπιας και επιθησει την θυσιαν εναντι κυριου και προσοισει αυτην προς το θυσιαστηριον
[26] και δραξεται ο ιερευς απο της θυσιας το μνημοσυνον αυτης και ανοισει αυτο επι το θυσιαστηριον και μετα ταυτα ποτιει την γυναικα το υδωρ
[27] και εσται εαν η μεμιαμμενη και ληθη λαθη τον ανδρα αυτης και εισελευσεται εις αυτην το υδωρ του ελεγμου το επικαταρωμενον και πρησθησεται την κοιλιαν και διαπεσειται ο μηρος αυτης και εσται η γυνη εις αραν εν τω λαω αυτης
