Moses reckoned them up according to the word of the Lord, every one according to their office and burdens, as the Lord had commanded him. Numbers Chapter 5 The unclean are removed out of the camp: confession of sins, and satisfaction: firstfruits and oblations belonging to the priests: trial of jealousy. 5:1. And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying: 5:2. Command the children of Israel, that they cast out of the camp every leper, and whosoever hath an issue of seed, or is defiled by the dead: 5:3. Whether it be man or woman, cast ye them out of the camp, lest they defile it when I shall dwell with you, 5:4. And the children of Israel did so, and they cast them forth without the camp, as the Lord had spoken to Moses. 5:5. And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying: 5:6. Say to the children of Israel: When a man or woman shall have committed any of all the sins that men are wont to commit, and by negligence shall have transgressed the commandment of the Lord, and offended, 5:7. They shall confess their sin, and restore the principal itself, and the fifth part over and above, to him against whom they have sinned. Shall confess...

But if there be no one to receive it, they shall give it to the Lord, and it shall be the priest's, besides the ram that is offered for expiation, to be an atoning sacrifice. 5:9.

Speak to the children of Israel, and thou shalt say to them: The man whose wife shall have gone astray, and contemning her husband, 5:13.

If the spirit of jealousy stir up the husband against his wife, who either is defiled, or is charged with false suspicion, The spirit of jealousy, etc... This ordinance was designed to clear the innocent, and to prevent jealous husbands from doing mischief to their wives: as likewise to give all a horror of adultery, by punishing it in so remarkable a manner. 5:15. He shall bring her to the priest, and shall offer an oblation for her, the tenth part of a measure of barley meal: he shall not pour oil thereon, nor put frankincense upon it: because it is a sacrifice of jealousy, and an oblation searching out adultery. 5:16. The priest therefore shall offer it, and set it before the Lord.
