in his hand;

And he shall adjure the woman, and say unto her, If no man have laid thee to sleep, and if thou hast not gone astray from thy husband, to defile thyself, these bitter cursed waters shall not hurt thee.

But where thou hast gone astray from thy husband, that thou art unclean, and any man hath slept with thee beside thy husband,

Then the priest shall adjure the woman with such a curse, and shall say unto her, The LORD
make thee a curse and an oath among thy people, that the LORD may make thy thigh to fail, and thy belly to swell.

Now therefore let the accursed water enter into thy womb, that thy belly may swell, and thy thigh faint. And the woman shall say, Amen, amen.

So the priest shall write these curses upon a piece of paper, and wash them away with bitter water;

And he shall give the woman to drink of the bitter accursed water. And when the accursed bitter water is gone into her,

And the priest shall take of their hand the jealousy offering, and shall wave it for a meat offering before the LORD, and offer it upon the altar, even it:

And he shall take an handful of the meat offering for her sin offering, and burn it upon the altar, and afterward he shall give the woman water to drink.

And when she hath drunk the water, if she be unclean, and have sinned against her husband, then the accursed water shall enter into her, and be bitter unto her, and her belly shall swell, and her thigh shall fail: and the woman shall be a curse among her people.

But if such a woman be not defiled, but clean, it shall not hurt her to conceive.

This is the law of zeal, when a woman departeth from her husband, and is defiled, 10. Or if a man’s zeal be kindled, and he be jealous for his wife, to set her before the LORD: and the priest shall do all things unto her according to this law.

And the man shall be innocent of iniquity: but the woman shall bear her iniquity.
(Numbers)
Chapter 6
Law of the Nazarene or betrothed. Form to bless the people.

And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying:

Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them: If any man or woman vow a special vow unto the LORD, to abstain,

He shall abstain from wine, and from strong drink; neither shall he drink wine vinegar, or strong drink vinegar; neither shall he drink any thing made of grapes; neither shall he eat fresh grapes, nor dry grapes,

So long as his vow continueth: neither shall he eat any thing that is made of the vine, neither kernels nor husks.

While the time of his vow continueth, there shall no razor pass over his head, until the time be expired which he hath vowed unto the LORD: for he is holy, and shall let the hair of his head grow free.

All the time that he hath vowed unto the LORD, he shall not go unto any dead person.

Neither shall he defile himself in the death of his father, or of his mother, or of his brother, or of his sister: for the vow of his God is upon his head.

And all the time of his vow he shall be holy unto the LORD.

And if any man die suddenly before him, the head of his vow is defiled: therefore he shall give his head in vain in the day of his cleansing, that is, on the seventh day.

And on the eighth day he shall bring two turtledoves, or two young pigeons, unto the priest, unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.

And the priest shall offer the one for a sin offering, and the other for a burnt offering, and make an atonement for him that sinneth against a dead person, and shall sanctify his head that day,

To keep the time of his vow unto the LORD. And he shall bring a lamb of the first year for a trespass offering. But the former days shall be for nought, because his vow is defiled.

This is the law of the betrothed: when the time of his vow is expired, he shall be brought unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.

And he shall bring his offering unto the LORD, a lamb of the first year without change for a burnt offering, and a sheep of the first year without change for a sin offering, and a ram without change for a peace offering.

And a basket of unleavened cakes of fine flour mingled with oil, and unleavened cakes spread with oil, and their meat offering and their drink offering.

And the priest shall bring it before the LORD, and shall make his sin offering and his burnt offering.

And he shall offer the ram for a peace offering unto the LORD, with the basket of unleavened bread; and he shall offer his meat offering and his drink offering.

And he shall give the head of his vow unto his betrothed at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation: and he shall take the head of his vow, and cast it upon the fire that is under the sacrifice of peace offerings.

And he shall take the boiled kid of the ram, and an unleavened cake out of the basket, and an unleavened cake, and put it upon his hands, after he hath shorn his vows, 20. And he shall weave it before the LORD. This is holy unto the priest, and to the priest’s breast, and to the priest’s shoulder. After that the betrothed may drink wine.

This is the law of the betrothed, who voweth his offering unto the LORD by reason of his vow, beside what he is able; as he hath vowed, so shall he do according to the law of his vow.

And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying:

Speak unto Aaron and to his sons, saying, Thus shall ye say unto the children of Israel, when ye bless them:

May the Lord bless you and keep you.

The LORD make his face to shine upon thee, and be gracious unto thee.

The LORD lift up his countenance upon thee, and peace be unto thee.

For ye shall put my name upon the children of Israel, that I may bless them.
(Numbers)
Chapter 7
Sacrifices and gifts of the princes for the dedication of the tabernacle.

And when Moses had set up the tabernacle, he anointed it, and sanctified it with all the vessels thereof, and anointed and sanctified the altar with all the vessels thereof, 2. Then the princes of Israel, which were heads of the houses of their fathers, offered sacrifices: for they were chief among the tribes, and were chief among them that were numbered.

And they brought their sacrifices before the LORD, six covered chariots, and twelve oxen, a chariot for every two princes, and an ox for every one: and they brought them before the tabernacle.

And the LORD said unto Moses:

Take it of them, that it may minister in the tabernacle of the congregation, and give it unto the Levites, every man according to his service.
6: And Moses took the chariots and the oxen, and gave them unto the Levites.

Two chariots and four oxen gave he to the children of Gershon according to their service.

And four chariots and eight oxen gave he to the children of Meran according to their service, under the hand of Ithamar the son of Aaron the priest.

But unto the children of Kohath he gave nothing: because they had a holy charge upon them, and they bare it upon their shoulders.

And the princes offered for the dedication of the altar in the day that it was dedicated, and offered their gifts before the altar.

And the LORD said unto Moses, Let every prince bring his offering in his day for the dedication of the altar.

On the first day Nahesson the son of Amminadab, of the tribe of Judah, offered his offering.

And his offering was a silver bowl, the value of an hundred and thirty shekels, and a silver dish, the value of seventy shekels, according to the shekel of the sanctuary, both of them full of fine flour mingled with oil, for a meat offering;

And a spoon of gold, worth ten shekels of gold, full of incense, 15. A bullock of the oxen, and a ram, and a lamb of the first year for a burnt offering, 16. A male goat for a sin offering,

And for a peace offering two oxen, and five rams, and five kids of the goats, and five lambs of the first year. This is the offering of Naheshon son of Amminadab.

And the next day Nethaneel the son of Zuar, the prince of Issachar, offered sacrifice.

His offering was a silver bowl, the value of an hundred and thirty shekels, and a silver bowl, the value of seventy shekels, according to the shekel of the sanctuary, both full of fine flour mingled with oil, for a meat offering;

And a spoon of gold, worth ten shekels of gold, full of incense, 21. A fair one of the oxen, a ram, a lamb of the first year for a burnt offering, 22. A kid of the goats for a sin offering.

And for a peace offering two oxen, and five rams, and five kids of the goats, and five lambs of the first year. This is the offering of Nethaneel son of Zuar.

And the third day the prince of the children of Zebulun, Eliab the son of Helon.

His offering was a silver bowl, the value of an hundred and thirty shekels, and a silver bowl, the value of seventy shekels, according to the shekel
