Números 5
Nova Traduҫão na Linguagem de Hoje 2000
As pessoas impuras
5 O Senhor Deus disse a Moisés:
2 — Mande que os israelitas expulsem do acampamento todos os que têm uma doença contagiosa da pele, todos os que têm corrimento no membro e todos os que estão impuros por terem tocado em algum morto. 3 Mande para fora do acampamento os que estão impuros, sejam homens ou mulheres, para que não tornem impuro o lugar onde eu moro.
4 Os israelitas fizeram como o Senhor havia ordenado a Moisés, isto é, expulsaram todas essas pessoas do acampamento.
O pagamento por prejuízos
5 O Senhor Deus disse ainda a Moisés:
6 — Diga aos israelitas o seguinte: se um homem ou uma mulher prejudicar alguém, essa pessoa estará ofendendo ao Senhor e por isso será culpada. 7 Terá de confessar o pecado, devolver tudo e pagar mais um quinto para a pessoa que foi prejudicada. 8 Mas, se essa pessoa morreu e não existe parente chegado que receba o pagamento, então o culpado deverá pagar ao Senhor, e o pagamento será do sacerdote. Além desse pagamento, também será entregue o carneiro que o sacerdote oferecerá em sacrifício para conseguir o perdão do pecado dessa pessoa. 9 Todas as ofertas especiais que os israelitas entregam ao Senhor pertencem ao sacerdote a quem elas forem apresentadas. 10 Cada sacerdote ficará com as ofertas sagradas que lhe forem apresentadas.
Como saber se a esposa é fiel ou não
11 O Senhor Deus disse a Moisés:
12 — Fale com os israelitas e diga o seguinte: pode acontecer que uma mulher se desvie e seja infiel ao marido 13 e tenha relações sexuais com outro homem, tornando-se assim impura. O marido não sabe disso, pois não houve testemunhas, e ela não foi apanhada no ato; 14 mesmo assim ele fica desconfiado. Pode acontecer também que o marido fique desconfiado, embora a mulher não tenha cometido adultério. 15 Em qualquer desses dois casos o homem levará a sua mulher ao sacerdote. E levará também a oferta de um quilo de farinha de cevada. Mas o sacerdote não porá azeite nem incenso em cima dessa farinha, pois é uma oferta de um marido desconfiado, isto é, uma oferta para descobrir a verdade.
16 — O sacerdote levará a mulher para a frente e a colocará diante do altar de Deus, o Senhor. 17 Ele derramará água santa num jarro de barro, e pegará um pouco de terra do chão da Tenda Sagrada, e porá na água. 18 E, com a mulher ainda em frente do altar, o sacerdote soltará os cabelos dela e porá nas suas mãos a oferta de farinha de cevada, que é a oferta por causa de ciúme. O sacerdote terá na mão o jarro de água amarga, que traz maldição.
19 — Então o sacerdote fará com que a mulher concorde com o seguinte juramento dito por ele: “Se você, estando debaixo da autoridade do seu marido, não teve relações com outro homem, nem cometeu com outro homem nenhum ato que a tenha tornado impura, então que nada lhe aconteça quando beber esta água amarga que traz maldição. 20 Mas, se você foi infiel e assim se tornou impura, 21 que o Senhor Deus faça do seu nome uma maldição no meio do seu povo, e que os seus órgãos sexuais sequem, e a sua barriga fique inchada. 22 Que esta água entre no seu estômago e faça com que fique inchado, e os seus órgãos sexuais sequem.” Então a mulher responderá: “Que assim seja!”
23 — Aí o sacerdote escreverá essas maldições numa tira de couro e em seguida lavará as palavras para dentro da água amarga. 24 Depois fará com que a mulher beba a água amarga que traz maldição. E a mulher sentirá dentro de si fortes dores. 25 Porém antes o sacerdote pegará da mão da mulher a oferta de cereais feita por causa de ciúmes; ele levantará a oferta na presença de Deus, o Senhor, e a trará ao altar. 26 Então pegará um punhado da oferta de cereais e a queimará em cima do altar para lembrar que é dada a Deus. Finalmente fará com que a mulher beba a água; 27 e, se, de fato, a mulher cometeu adultério e ficou impura, a água entrará nela, e ela sentirá fortes dores. A sua barriga ficará inchada, e os seus órgãos sexuais secarão. E ela será amaldiçoada no meio do seu povo. 28 Porém, se a mulher não cometeu adultério e for inocente, então ficará livre do castigo e poderá ter filhos.
29 — Essa é a lei para os casos em que uma mulher casada comete adultério, e o marido fica desconfiado, 30 ou em que um homem, sem motivo, fica desconfiado da mulher. Ele deverá levar a mulher até o altar de Deus, o Senhor, e o sacerdote fará o que essa lei manda. 31 O marido ficará livre da culpa; mas, se a mulher for culpada, sofrerá o castigo.

Pureza no acampamento de Israel
5 O Senhor disse a Moisés: 2 “Ordene aos israelitas que removam do acampamento todo aquele que sofrer de lepra[a] ou fluxos corporais ou que tiver se tornado cerimonialmente impuro ao tocar num cadáver. 3 Isso se aplica tanto a homens como a mulheres, para que não contaminem seu próprio acampamento, onde eu habito no meio deles”. 4 Os israelitas fizeram conforme o Senhor havia ordenado a Moisés e removeram essas pessoas do acampamento.
5 Então o Senhor disse a Moisés: 6 “Dê as seguintes instruções ao povo de Israel. Se alguém do povo, homem ou mulher, ofender ao Senhor prejudicando outra pessoa, será culpado. 7 Confessará seu pecado e pagará indenização completa pelo dano causado, com um acréscimo de um quinto do valor, e entregará o total à pessoa prejudicada. 8 Mas, se a pessoa prejudicada não tiver parentes próximos para receber a indenização, o valor pertencerá ao Senhor e será entregue ao sacerdote. O culpado também levará um carneiro como sacrifício para fazer expiação por ele. 9 Todas as ofertas sagradas que os israelitas levarem ao sacerdote serão dele. 10 O sacerdote ficará com todas as dádivas sagradas que receber”.
Proteção para a fidelidade conjugal
11 O Senhor também disse a Moisés: 12 “Dê as seguintes instruções ao povo de Israel.
“Se a esposa de alguém se desviar, for infiel ao marido 13 e tiver relações sexuais com outro homem, sem que o marido ou qualquer outra pessoa fique sabendo, ainda que não haja testemunhas e a esposa não tenha sido pega em flagrante, ela ficará contaminada. 14 Se o marido tiver ciúmes, suspeitar da esposa e precisar saber se ela se contaminou ou não, 15 levará a esposa ao sacerdote. Apresentará em favor dela uma oferta de dois litros[b] de farinha de cevada. Não a misturará com azeite nem incenso, pois é uma oferta pelo ciúme, isto é, uma oferta de testemunho da suspeita, para provar se a mulher é culpada ou não.
16 “O sacerdote a apresentará para ser julgada diante do Senhor. 17 Numa vasilha de barro, colocará um pouco de água sagrada e a misturará com pó do chão do tabernáculo. 18 Uma vez que o sacerdote tiver apresentado a mulher diante do Senhor, soltará o cabelo dela e colocará em suas mãos a oferta pelo ciúme como testemunho da suspeita. O sacerdote se colocará diante dela, segurando a vasilha de água amarga que traz maldição sobre os culpados. 19 Em seguida, o sacerdote fará a mulher jurar e lhe dirá: ‘Se nenhum outro homem teve relações sexuais com você, e se você não se desviou nem se contaminou enquanto estava debaixo da autoridade de seu marido, que você permaneça imune aos efeitos desta água amarga que traz a maldição. 20 Mas, se você se desviou sendo infiel a seu marido, e contaminou a si mesma tendo relações sexuais com outro homem…’
21 “Nesse momento, o sacerdote fará a mulher jurar: ‘Que o povo saiba que a maldição do Senhor está sobre você quando ele a tornar estéril, fizer seu útero encolher[c] e seu abdômen inchar. 22 Que esta água que traz a maldição entre no seu corpo e faça seu abdômen inchar e seu útero encolher’. E a mulher responderá: ‘Amém. Que assim seja’. 23 O sacerdote escreverá essas maldições num pedaço de couro, as raspará de modo que caiam na água amarga, 24 e fará a mulher beber a água amarga que traz a maldição. Se a mulher for culpada, quando a água entrar em seu corpo lhe causará amargo sofrimento.
25 “Em seguida, o sacerdote tirará a oferta pelo ciúme da mão da mulher e a moverá para o alto diante do Senhor. Depois, levará a oferta até o altar. 26 Tomará um punhado da farinha como oferta simbólica, queimando-a no altar, e exigirá que a mulher beba a água. 27 Se a mulher tiver se contaminado sendo infiel a seu marido, a água que traz a maldição lhe causará amargo sofrimento. Seu abdômen inchará e seu útero encolherá, e ela se tornará maldição entre seu povo. 28 Mas, se ela não tiver se contaminado e estiver pura, não sofrerá castigo e poderá ter filhos.
29 “Essa é a lei ritual para lidar com a suspeita do marido. Se uma esposa se desviar e se contaminar enquanto estiver debaixo da autoridade do marido, 30 ou o marido tiver ciúme e suspeitar que sua esposa foi infiel, ele a apresentará diante do Senhor, e o sacerdote aplicará em sua totalidade essa lei ritual. 31 O marido será isento de toda a culpa nesse caso, mas a esposa será punida por seu pecado”.
Numbers 5
New American Standard Bible
On Defilement
5 Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, 2 “Command the sons of Israel that they (A)send away from the camp everyone with leprosy, everyone having a (B)discharge, and everyone who is (C)unclean because of contact with a dead person. 3 You shall send away both male and female; you shall send them outside the camp so that they do not defile their camp where I dwell (D)in their midst.” 4 And the sons of Israel did so and sent them outside the camp; just as the Lord had spoken to Moses, that is what the sons of Israel did.
5 Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, 6 “Speak to the sons of Israel: ‘(E)When a man or woman commits any of the sins of mankind, acting unfaithfully against the Lord, and that person is guilty, 7 then [a]he shall (F)confess [b]his sin which [c]he has committed, and he (G)shall make restitution in full for his wrong and add to it a fifth of it, and give it to him whom he has wronged. 8 But if the person has no [d]redeemer to whom restitution may be made for the wrong, the restitution which is made for the wrong must go to the Lord for the priest, besides the ram of atonement, by which atonement is made for him. 9 (H)Also every [e]contribution pertaining to all the holy gifts of the sons of Israel, which they offer to the priest, shall be his. 10 So every person’s holy gifts shall be his; whatever anyone gives to the priest, it (I)becomes his.’”
The Adultery Test
11 Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, 12 “Speak to the sons of Israel and say to them, ‘If any man’s wife (J)goes astray and is unfaithful to him, 13 and a man has (K)sexual relations with her and it is hidden from the eyes of her husband and she remains undiscovered, although she has defiled herself, and there is no witness against her and she has not been caught in the act, 14 [f]if [g]an attitude of (L)jealousy comes over him and he is jealous of his wife when she has defiled herself, or if [h]an attitude of jealousy comes over him and he is jealous of his wife when she has not defiled herself, 15 the man shall then bring his wife to the priest, and shall bring as [i]an offering for her a tenth of an [j]ephah of barley meal; he shall not pour oil on it nor put frankincense on it, because it is a grain offering of jealousy, a grain offering of reminder, (M)a reminder of wrongdoing.
16 ‘Then the priest shall bring her forward and have her stand before the Lord, 17 and the priest shall take holy water in an earthenware container; and [k]he shall take some of the dust that is on the floor of the tabernacle and put it in the water. 18 The priest shall then have the woman stand before the Lord and let down the hair of the woman’s head, and place the grain offering of reminder [l]in her hands, that is, the grain offering of jealousy; and in the hand of the priest is to be the water of bitterness that brings a curse. 19 And the priest shall have her take an oath and shall say to the woman, “If no man has had sexual relations with you and if you have not (N)gone astray into uncleanness, as you are under the authority of your husband, be [m]immune to this water of bitterness that brings a curse; 20 if, however, you have (O)gone astray, though under the authority of your husband, and if you have defiled yourself and a man other than your husband has had sexual intercourse with you” 21 (then the priest shall have the woman (P)swear with the oath of the curse, and the priest shall say to the woman), “may the Lord make you a curse and an oath among your people by the Lord’s making your thigh [n]shriveled and your [o]belly swollen; 22 and this water that brings a curse shall go into your [p]stomach, to make your belly swell up and your thigh [q]shrivel.” And the woman (Q)shall say, “Amen, Amen.”
23 ‘The priest shall then write these curses on a scroll, and he shall [r]wash them off into the water of bitterness. 24 Then he shall make the woman drink the water of bitterness that brings a curse, so that the water which brings a curse will go into her [s]and cause bitterness. 25 And the priest shall take the grain offering of jealousy from the woman’s hand, and he shall wave the grain offering before the Lord and bring it to the altar; 26 and (R)the priest shall take a handful of the grain offering as its reminder offering and offer it up in smoke on the altar, and afterward he shall make the woman drink the water. 27 When he has made her drink the water, then it will come about, if she has defiled herself and has been unfaithful to her husband, that the water which brings a curse will go into her [t]and cause bitterness, and her belly will swell up and her thigh will [u]shrivel, and the woman will become (S)a curse among her people. 28 But if the woman has not defiled herself and is clean, she will be [v]immune and conceive [w]children.
29 ‘This is the law of jealousy: when a wife, who is under the authority of her husband, (T)goes astray and defiles herself, 30 or when [x]an attitude of jealousy comes over a man and he is jealous of his wife, he shall then have the woman stand before the Lord, and the priest shall apply all of this law to her. 31 The man, moreover, will be free of [y]guilt, but that woman shall (U)bear the consequences of her [z]guilt.’”

The Purity of the Camp
5 The Lord said to Moses, 2 “Command the Israelites to send away from the camp anyone who has a defiling skin disease[a](A) or a discharge(B) of any kind, or who is ceremonially unclean(C) because of a dead body.(D) 3 Send away male and female alike; send them outside the camp so they will not defile their camp, where I dwell among them.(E)” 4 The Israelites did so; they sent them outside the camp. They did just as the Lord had instructed Moses.
Restitution for Wrongs
5 The Lord said to Moses, 6 “Say to the Israelites: ‘Any man or woman who wrongs another in any way[b] and so is unfaithful(F) to the Lord is guilty(G) 7 and must confess(H) the sin they have committed. They must make full restitution(I) for the wrong they have done, add a fifth of the value to it and give it all to the person they have wronged. 8 But if that person has no close relative to whom restitution can be made for the wrong, the restitution belongs to the Lord and must be given to the priest, along with the ram(J) with which atonement is made for the wrongdoer.(K) 9 All the sacred contributions the Israelites bring to a priest will belong to him.(L) 10 Sacred things belong to their owners, but what they give to the priest will belong to the priest.(M)’”
The Test for an Unfaithful Wife
11 Then the Lord said to Moses, 12 “Speak to the Israelites and say to them: ‘If a man’s wife goes astray(N) and is unfaithful to him 13 so that another man has sexual relations with her,(O) and this is hidden from her husband and her impurity is undetected (since there is no witness against her and she has not been caught in the act), 14 and if feelings of jealousy(P) come over her husband and he suspects his wife and she is impure—or if he is jealous and suspects her even though she is not impure— 15 then he is to take his wife to the priest. He must also take an offering of a tenth of an ephah[c](Q) of barley flour(R) on her behalf. He must not pour olive oil on it or put incense on it, because it is a grain offering for jealousy,(S) a reminder-offering(T) to draw attention to wrongdoing.
16 “‘The priest shall bring her and have her stand before the Lord. 17 Then he shall take some holy water in a clay jar and put some dust from the tabernacle floor into the water. 18 After the priest has had the woman stand before the Lord, he shall loosen her hair(U) and place in her hands the reminder-offering, the grain offering for jealousy,(V) while he himself holds the bitter water that brings a curse.(W) 19 Then the priest shall put the woman under oath and say to her, “If no other man has had sexual relations with you and you have not gone astray(X) and become impure while married to your husband, may this bitter water that brings a curse(Y) not harm you. 20 But if you have gone astray(Z) while married to your husband and you have made yourself impure by having sexual relations with a man other than your husband”— 21 here the priest is to put the woman under this curse(AA)—“may the Lord cause you to become a curse[d] among your people when he makes your womb miscarry and your abdomen swell. 22 May this water(AB) that brings a curse(AC) enter your body so that your abdomen swells or your womb miscarries.”
“‘Then the woman is to say, “Amen. So be it.(AD)”
23 “‘The priest is to write these curses on a scroll(AE) and then wash them off into the bitter water. 24 He shall make the woman drink the bitter water that brings a curse, and this water that brings a curse and causes bitter suffering will enter her. 25 The priest is to take from her hands the grain offering for jealousy, wave it before the Lord(AF) and bring it to the altar. 26 The priest is then to take a handful of the grain offering as a memorial[e] offering(AG) and burn it on the altar; after that, he is to have the woman drink the water. 27 If she has made herself impure and been unfaithful to her husband, this will be the result: When she is made to drink the water that brings a curse and causes bitter suffering, it will enter her, her abdomen will swell and her womb will miscarry, and she will become a curse.(AH) 28 If, however, the woman has not made herself impure, but is clean, she will be cleared of guilt and will be able to have children.
29 “‘This, then, is the law of jealousy when a woman goes astray(AI) and makes herself impure while married to her husband, 30 or when feelings of jealousy(AJ) come over a man because he suspects his wife. The priest is to have her stand before the Lord and is to apply this entire law to her. 31 The husband will be innocent of any wrongdoing, but the woman will bear the consequences(AK) of her sin.’”

King James Version
5 And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,
2 Command the children of Israel, that they put out of the camp every leper, and every one that hath an issue, and whosoever is defiled by the dead:
3 Both male and female shall ye put out, without the camp shall ye put them; that they defile not their camps, in the midst whereof I dwell.
4 And the children of Israel did so, and put them out without the camp: as the Lord spake unto Moses, so did the children of Israel.
5 And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,
6 Speak unto the children of Israel, When a man or woman shall commit any sin that men commit, to do a trespass against the Lord, and that person be guilty;
7 Then they shall confess their sin which they have done: and he shall recompense his trespass with the principal thereof, and add unto it the fifth part thereof, and give it unto him against whom he hath trespassed.
8 But if the man have no kinsman to recompense the trespass unto, let the trespass be recompensed unto the Lord, even to the priest; beside the ram of the atonement, whereby an atonement shall be made for him.
9 And every offering of all the holy things of the children of Israel, which they bring unto the priest, shall be his.
10 And every man's hallowed things shall be his: whatsoever any man giveth the priest, it shall be his.
11 And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,
12 Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, If any man's wife go aside, and commit a trespass against him,
13 And a man lie with her carnally, and it be hid from the eyes of her husband, and be kept close, and she be defiled, and there be no witness against her, neither she be taken with the manner;
14 And the spirit of jealousy come upon him, and he be jealous of his wife, and she be defiled: or if the spirit of jealousy come upon him, and he be jealous of his wife, and she be not defiled:
15 Then shall the man bring his wife unto the priest, and he shall bring her offering for her, the tenth part of an ephah of barley meal; he shall pour no oil upon it, nor put frankincense thereon; for it is an offering of jealousy, an offering of memorial, bringing 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 earthen vessel; and of the dust that is in the floor of the tabernacle the priest shall take, and put it into the water:
18 And the priest shall set the woman before the Lord, and uncover the woman's head, and put the offering of memorial in her hands, which is the jealousy offering: and the priest shall have in his hand the bitter water that causeth the curse:
19 And the priest shall charge her by an oath, and say unto the woman, If no man have lain with thee, and if thou hast not gone aside to uncleanness with another instead of thy husband, be thou free from this bitter water that causeth the curse:
20 But if thou hast gone aside to another instead of thy husband, and if thou be defiled, and some man have lain with thee beside thine husband:
21 Then the priest shall charge the woman with an oath of cursing, and the priest shall say unto the woman, The Lord make thee a curse and an oath among thy people, when the Lord doth make thy thigh to rot, and thy belly to swell;
22 And this water that causeth the curse shall go into thy bowels, to make thy belly to swell, and thy thigh to rot: And the woman shall say, Amen, amen.
23 And the priest shall write these curses in a book, and he shall blot them out with the bitter water:
24 And he shall cause the woman to drink the bitter water that causeth the curse: and the water that causeth the curse shall enter into her, and become bitter.
25 Then the priest shall take the jealousy offering out of the woman's hand, and shall wave the offering before the Lord, and offer it upon the altar:
26 And the priest shall take an handful of the offering, even the memorial thereof, and burn it upon the altar, and afterward shall cause the woman to drink the water.
27 And when he hath made her to drink the water, then it shall come to pass, that, if she be defiled, and have done trespass against her husband, that the water that causeth the curse shall enter into her, and become bitter, and her belly shall swell, and her thigh shall rot: and the woman shall be a curse among her people.
28 And if the woman be not defiled, but be clean; then she shall be free, and shall conceive seed.
29 This is the law of jealousies, when a wife goeth aside to another instead of her husband, and is defiled;
30 Or when the spirit of jealousy cometh upon him, and he be jealous over his wife, and shall set the woman before the Lord, and the priest shall execute upon her all this law.
31 Then shall the man be guiltless from iniquity, and this woman shall bear her iniquity.
