民數記 第 5 章

And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:

Command the sons of Israel, and let them send out from the camp everyone who is leprous, and everyone who has a discharge, and everyone who is unclean by reason of a dead body.

From male to female send them outside the camp, and they shall not defile their camps, in which I dwell among them.

And the sons of Israel did so, and sent them outside the camp; as the Lord spoke to Moses, so the sons of Israel did.

And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:

Speak to the sons of Israel, saying: A man or a woman, whoever commits any of the sins of men and in disregarding utterly disregards it, that soul has committed a trespass;

he shall confess the sin that he committed, and shall repay the trespass, the principal, and shall add to it its fifth part, and shall give it back to the one against whom he trespassed.

But if the man has no kinsman to whom the trespass-offering may be repaid, the trespass-offering that is repaid to the Lord shall be the priest's, besides the ram of atonement by which he shall make atonement for him.

And every firstfruit, according to all the things consecrated among the sons of Israel, whatever they offer to the Lord, shall be the priest's.

And each one's consecrated things shall be his own; whatever a man gives to the priest shall be the priest's.

And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:

Speak to the sons of Israel and say to them: If any man's wife goes astray and disregards him, despising him,

and someone lies with her in intercourse, and it is hidden from the eyes of her husband and she conceals it, and she has been defiled, and there was no witness with her, and she was not caught;

and a spirit of jealousy comes upon him and he is jealous of his wife, and she has been defiled; or a spirit of jealousy comes upon him and he is jealous of his wife, and she has not been defiled:

then the man shall bring his wife to the priest and shall present the offering for her, a tenth of an oiphi of barley meal. He shall not pour oil upon it, nor shall he put frankincense upon it, for it is a sacrifice of jealousy, a sacrifice of remembrance, bringing sin to remembrance.

And the priest shall bring her near and shall set her before the Lord.

And the priest shall take pure living water in an earthen vessel, and of the earth that is on the floor of the tent of witness the priest shall take and put into the water.

And the priest shall set the woman before the Lord and shall uncover the woman's head, and shall put into her hands the sacrifice of remembrance, the sacrifice of jealousy; and in the priest's hand shall be this water of reproof that brings the curse.

And the priest shall put her under oath and shall say to the woman: If no one has lain with you, if you have not gone astray so as to be defiled while under your own husband, be innocent of this water of reproof that brings the curse.

But if you have gone astray while under a husband, or you have been defiled, and someone other than your husband has given his intercourse in you,

then the priest shall put the woman under the oaths of this curse, and the priest shall say to the woman: May the Lord make you a curse and an oath among your people, when the Lord makes your thigh fall away and your belly swell.

And this water that brings the curse shall enter into your belly, to make your womb swell and your thigh fall away. And the woman shall say: So be it, so be it.

And the priest shall write these curses in a book and shall blot them out into the water of reproof that brings the curse.

And he shall give the woman the water of reproof that brings the curse to drink, and the cursing water of reproof shall enter into her.

And the priest shall take the sacrifice of jealousy out of the woman's hand, and shall set the sacrifice before the Lord, and shall bring it to the altar.

And the priest shall take a handful from the sacrifice, its memorial portion, and shall offer it up on the altar; and after that he shall give the woman the water to drink.

And it shall be, if she has been defiled and has indeed concealed it from her husband, then the cursing water of reproof shall enter into her, and her belly shall swell and her thigh shall fall away, and the woman shall become a curse among her people.

But if the woman has not been defiled and is clean, then she shall be innocent and shall conceive seed.

This is the law of jealousy, when a wife, being under a husband, goes astray and is defiled;

or a man upon whom a spirit of jealousy comes, and he is jealous of his wife: he shall set his wife before the Lord, and the priest shall perform for her all this law.

And the man shall be innocent of sin, and that woman shall bear her own sin.
