Numbers 5
Douay-Rheims 1899
1And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:

4And the children of Israel did so, and they cast them forth without the camp, as the Lord had spoken to Moses.
5And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
6Say 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,
7They shall confess their sin, and restore the principal itself, and the fifth part over and above, to him against whom they have sinned.
8But 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.
9All the firstfruits also, which the children of Israel offer, belong to the priest:
10And whatsoever is offered into the sanctuary by every one, and is delivered into the hands of the priest, it shall be his.
11And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
12Speak to the children of Israel, and thou shalt say to them: The man whose wife shall have gone astray, and contemning her husband,
13Shall have slept with another man, and her husband cannot discover it, but the adultery is secret, and cannot be proved by witnesses, because she was not found in the adultery:
