ANd Iehovah spake unto Moses, say∣ing; [unspec 1] [unspec 2] Command the sonnes of Israel, that they send away out of the campe, every leper, and every one that hath an issue, and every one defiled by a soule. Both male and female shall yee send away; without the campe shall yee send them, that [unspec 3] they defile not their campes, in the middest whereof I dwell. And the sonnes of Israel [unspec 4] did so, and sent them away without the campe; as Iehovah spake unto Moses, so did the sonnes of Israel.
And Iehovah spake unto Moses, saying; [unspec 5] [unspec 6] Speake unto the sonnes of Israel: A man or a woman, when they shall doe any of all the so〈…〉〈…〉es of men, to transgresse a transgression against Iehovah, and that soule bee guiltie; Their they shall confesse their sinne which [unspec 7] they have done, and he shall restore his tres∣passe in the principall thereof; and the fist p〈…〉〈…〉t thereof shall he adde unto it, and shall give it to him against whom he hath trespas∣sed. And if the man have no kinsman, to [unspec] restore the trespasse unto him, the trespasse shall be restored vnto Iehovah, unto the Priest, beside the ramme of the atonements; where∣by atonement shall be made for him. And [unspec 9] every heave-offering of all the holy things of the sonnes of Israel, which they shall bring neere unto the priest, shall bee his. And every mans hallowed things shall be his: [unspec 10] that which any man giveth to the priest, his it shall be.
And Iehovah spake unto Moses, saying; [unspec 11] [unspec 12] Speake unto the sonnes of Israel, and say unto them: Any man, if his wife goe a∣side, and transgresse against him a trans∣gression; And a man lye with her, with [unspec 13] seed of copulation, and it be kept close from the eyes of her husband, and she hath hid herselfe, and she is defiled, and there is no witnesse against her, and she is not taken: And the spirit of jealousie passe upon him, [unspec 14] and he be jealous of his wife, and she be de∣filed; or the spirit of jealousie passe upon him, and he be jealous of his wife, and shee be not defiled: Then shall the man bring [unspec 15] his wife unto the Priest, and he shall bring her offering for her, the tenth part of an E∣phah of barley meale: hee shall not powre oile upon it, nor put frankincense thereon, for it is a Meat-offering of jealousies, a Meat-offering of memoriall, making me∣moriall of iniquitie. And the Priest shall [unspec 16] bring her neere, and make her stand be∣fore Iehovah. And the priest shall take ho∣ly [unspec 17] water, in an earthen vessell; and of the dust which is in the floore of the Taberna∣cle, shall the Priest take, and put it into the water. And the Priest shall make the wo∣man [unspec 18] to stand before Iehovah, and shall un∣cover the womans head, and put in her hands the Meat-offering of memoriall; it is the Meat-offring of jealousies: & in the hand of the Priest shall be the bitter water, that causeth the curse. And the Priest shall [unspec 19] charge her by an oath, and say unto the wo∣man; If no man have lien with thee; and if thou hast not gone aside to uncleannesse, under thy husband, be thou free from the bitter water that causeth the curse. But [unspec 20] thou, if thou hast gone aside under thy hus∣band, and if thou be defiled, and some man hath had his copulation with thee, beside thine husband: And the Priest shall by [unspec 21] oath charge the woman, with an oath of cursing; and the Priest shall say unto the woman; Iehovah give thee, to be for a curse and for an oath, among thy people, when Iehovah doth giue thy thigh to fall, and thy
