51 Then the Lord spoke to Moses , saying , 2 "Command the sons of Israel that they send away from the camp every leper and everyone having a discharge and everyone who is unclean because of a dead person . 3 "You shall send away both male and female ; you shall send them outside e e the camp so that they will not defile their camp where I dwell in their midst ." 4 The sons of Israel did so and sent them outside e e the camp ; just as the Lord had spoken to Moses , thus the sons of Israel did .
5 Then the Lord spoke to Moses , saying , 6 "Speak to the sons of Israel , ' When a man or woman commits any e of the sins of mankind , acting unfaithfully against the Lord , and that person is guilty , 7 then he shall confess his sins which he has committed , and he shall make restitution in full for his wrong and add to it one-fifth of it, and give it to him whom he has wronged . 8 'But if the man has no relative to whom restitution may be made for the wrong , the restitution which is made for the wrong must go to the Lord for the priest , besides e the ram of atonement , by which atonement is made for him. 9 ' Also every contribution pertaining to all the holy gifts of the sons of Israel , which they offer to the priest , shall be his. 10 'So every man's holy gifts shall be his; whatever any man gives to the priest , it becomes his.' "
11 Then the Lord spoke to Moses , saying , 12 "Speak to the sons of Israel and say to them, 'If any man's wife goes astray and is unfaithful to him, 13 and a man has intercourse e with her and it is hidden from the eyes of her husband and she is undetected , although she has defiled herself , and there is no witness against her and she has not been caught in the act, 14 if a spirit of jealousy comes over him and he is jealous of his wife when she has defiled herself, or if a spirit of jealousy comes over him and he is jealous of his wife when she has not defiled herself, 15 the man shall then bring his wife to the priest , and shall bring as an offering for her one-tenth of an ephah of barley meal ; he shall not pour oil on it nor put frankincense on it, for it is a grain offering of jealousy , a grain offering of memorial , a reminder of iniquity . 16 'Then the priest shall bring her near and have her stand before the Lord , 17 and the priest shall take holy water in an earthenware vessel ; and he shall take some of the dust that is on the floor of the tabernacle and put it into the water . 18 'The priest shall then have the woman stand before the Lord and let the hair of the woman's head go loose , and place the grain offering of memorial in her hands , which is the grain offering of jealousy , and in the hand of the priest is to be the water of bitterness that brings a curse . 19 'The priest shall have her take an oath and shall say to the woman , "If no man has lain with you and if you have not gone astray into uncleanness , being under the authority of your husband , be immune to this water of bitterness that brings a curse ; 20 if you, however, have gone astray , being under the authority of your husband , and if you have defiled yourself and a man other than your husband has had intercourse with you" 21 (then the priest shall have the woman swear with the oath of the curse , and the priest shall say to the woman ), "the Lord make you a curse and an oath among your people by the Lord'S making your thigh waste away and your abdomen swell ; 22 and this water that brings a curse shall go into your stomach , and make your abdomen swell and your thigh waste away ." And the woman shall say , "Amen . Amen ." 23 'The priest shall then write these curses on a scroll , and he shall wash them off into the water of bitterness . 24 'Then he shall make the woman drink the water of bitterness that brings a curse , so that the water which brings a curse will go into her and cause bitterness . 25 'The priest shall take the grain offering of jealousy from the woman's hand , and he shall wave the grain offering before the Lord and bring it to the altar ; 26 and the priest shall take a handful of the grain offering as its memorial offering and offer it up in smoke on the altar , and afterward he shall make the woman drink the water . 27 'When he has made her drink the water , then it shall come about, if she has defiled herself and has been unfaithful to her husband , that the water which brings a curse will go into her and cause bitterness , and her abdomen will swell and her thigh will waste away , and the woman will become a curse among her people . 28 'But if the woman has not defiled herself and is clean , she will then be free and conceive children . 29 'This is the law of jealousy : when a wife , being under the authority of her husband , goes astray and defiles herself, 30 or when a spirit of jealousy comes over a man and he is jealous of his wife , he shall then make the woman stand before the Lord , and the priest shall apply all this law to her. 31 'Moreover, the man will be free from guilt , but that woman shall bear her guilt .'
