04:005:010 And every man's hallowed things shall be his: whatsoever any
man giveth the priest, it shall be his.
04:005:011 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
04:005:012 Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, If any
man's wife go aside, and commit a trespass against him,
04:005:013 And a man lie with her carnally, and it be hid from the eyes
of her husband, and be kept close, and she be defiled, and there be no
witness against her, neither she be taken with the manner;
04:005:014 And the spirit of jealousy come upon him, and he be jealous
of his wife, and she be defiled: or if the spirit of jealousy come upon
him, and he be jealous of his wife, and she be not defiled:
04:005:015 Then shall the man bring his wife unto the priest, and he
shall bring her offering for her, the tenth part of an ephah of barley
meal; he shall pour no oil upon it, nor put frankincense thereon; for
it is an offering of jealousy, an offering of memorial, bringing
iniquity to remembrance.
04:005:016 And the priest shall bring her near, and set her before the
LORD:
04:005:017 And the priest shall take holy water in an earthen vessel;
and of the dust that is in the floor of the tabernacle the priest shall
take, and put it into the water:
04:005:018 And the priest shall set the woman before the LORD, and
uncover the woman's head, and put the offering of memorial in her
hands, which is the jealousy offering: and the priest shall have in his
hand the bitter water that causeth the curse:
04:005:019 And the priest shall charge her by an oath, and say unto the
woman, If no man have lain with thee, and if thou hast not gone aside
to uncleanness with another instead of thy husband, be thou free from
this bitter water that causeth the curse:
04:005:020 But if thou hast gone aside to another instead of thy
husband, and if thou be defiled, and some man have lain with thee
beside thine husband:
04:005:021 Then the priest shall charge the woman with an oath of
cursing, and the priest shall say unto the woman, The LORD make thee a
curse and an oath among thy people, when the LORD doth make thy thigh
to rot, and thy belly to swell;
04:005:022 And this water that causeth the curse shall go into thy
bowels, to make thy belly to swell, and thy thigh to rot: And the woman
shall say, Amen, amen.
04:005:023 And the priest shall write these curses in a book, and he
shall blot them out with the bitter water:
04:005:024 And he shall cause the woman to drink the bitter water that
causeth the curse: and the water that causeth the curse shall enter
into her, and become bitter.
04:005:025 Then the priest shall take the jealousy offering out of the
woman's hand, and shall wave the offering before the LORD, and offer it
upon the altar:
04:005:026 And the priest shall take an handful of the offering, even
the memorial thereof, and burn it upon the altar, and afterward shall
cause the woman to drink the water.
