8
But if the man has no next of kin to whom restitution may be made for the wrong, the restitution for wrong shall go to the LORD for the priest, in addition to
1the ram of atonement with which atonement is made for him.
9
And
2every contribution, all the holy donations of the people of Israel, which they bring to the priest, shall be his.
10
Each one shall keep his holy donations: whatever anyone gives to the priest shall be his."
A Test for Adultery
11 And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
12
"Speak to the people of Israel, If any man's wife goes astray and breaks faith with him,
13
if a man
3lies with her sexually, and it is hidden from the eyes of her husband, and she is undetected though she has defiled herself, and there is no witness against her,
4since she was not taken in the act,
14
and if the spirit of jealousy comes over him and he is jealous of his wife who has defiled herself, or if the spirit of jealousy comes over him and he is jealous of his wife, though she has not defiled herself,
15
then the man shall bring his wife to the priest and bring the offering required of her, a tenth of an ephah of barley flour.
5He shall pour no oil on it and put no frankincense on it, for it is a grain offering of jealousy, a grain offering of remembrance,
6bringing iniquity to remembrance.
16
"And the priest shall bring her near and set her before the LORD.
17
And the priest shall take holy water in an earthenware vessel and take some of the dust that is on the floor of the tabernacle and put it into the water.
18
And the priest shall set the woman before the LORD and
7unbind the hair of the woman's head and place in her hands the grain offering of remembrance, which is the grain offering of jealousy. And in his hand the priest shall have the water of bitterness that brings the curse.
