Numbers 5:20
But if thou hast gone astray to another instead of thy husband, and if thou be defiled and some man have lain with thee besides thine husband”—
But if thou have gone aside, being under thy husband, and if thou be defiled, and some man have lain with thee besides thy husband:
but if you have gone astray [while married] and you have defiled yourself and a man other than your husband has been intimate with you”
But if you have gone astray and you are defiled, some man having lain with you beside your husband,
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:
But if you have gone astray while under your husband’s authority, if you have defiled yourself and a man other than your husband has slept with you’—
But if you have had an affair while married to your husband, if you have defiled yourself, and a man other than your husband has had intercourse with you”—
But if you have in fact gone astray while under your husband’s authority and become unclean, because some man other than your husband has gone to bed with you . . .”
Next, he will remove her veil, then hand her the barley offering, and say, “If you have been faithful to your husband, this water won't harm you. But if you have been unfaithful, it will bring down the Lord's curse—you will never be able to give birth to a child, and everyone will curse your name.” Then the woman will answer, “If I am guilty, let it happen just as you say.”
But if thou hast gone astray to another instead of thy husband, and hast been defiled, and a man other than thy husband have lain with thee,
But if thou hast gone aside from thy husband, and art defiled, and hast lain with another man:
But if you have sinned against your husband—if you had sexual relations with a man who is not your husband—then you are not pure.
But if another man has had sex with you,
But if you have gone astray while married to your husband, and if you are defiled and another man besides your husband has had sex with you—”
But if you have gone astray, though you are under your husband's authority, and if you have defiled yourself, and some man other than your husband has lain with you,
But if you have gone astray, though you are under your husband's authority, and if you have defiled yourself, and some man other than your husband has lain with you,
But if you have been unfaithful to your husband and have defiled yourself and had sexual relations with a man besides him”—
But if thou hast turned from thine husband, and so art defiled, and some man hath lain with thee besides thine husband,
If, in fact, you have been unfaithful and have had sexual intercourse with another man,
But if you have committed adultery,
But if you have gone astray while under your husband’s authority, if you have defiled yourself and a man other than your husband has slept with you’—
But what if you have been unfaithful to your husband? What if you have committed adultery with a man besides your husband?”
But if you have become unfaithful to your husband and have become defiled because a man who isn’t your husband has had sexual relations with you…’
But if thou hast gone astray from thy husband and hast defiled thyself and some man has placed seed in thee other than thine husband,
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:
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:
if you, however, have gone astray, being under the authority of your husband, and if you have defiled yourself, and a man other than your husband has lain with you”
But if you have had an affair under your husband, and if you are defiled and a man other than your husband had intercourse with you,”
But if you have committed adultery,
“The priest then is to take her and have her stand in the presence of God. He is to take some holy water in a pottery jar and put some dust from the floor of The Dwelling in the water. After the priest has her stand in the presence of God he is to uncover her hair and place the exposure-offering in her hands, the Grain-Offering for jealousy, while he holds the bitter water that delivers a curse. Then the priest will put the woman under oath and say, ‘If no man has slept with you and you have not had an adulterous affair and become impure while married to your husband, may this bitter water that delivers a curse not harm you. But if you have had an affair while married to your husband and have defiled yourself by sleeping with a man other than your husband’—here the priest puts the woman under this curse—‘may God cause your people to curse and revile you when he makes your womb shrivel and your belly swell. Let this water that delivers a curse enter your body so that your belly swells and your womb shrivels.’ “Then the woman shall say, ‘Amen. Amen.’
But if you have gone astray to another instead of your husband, and if you are defiled, and a man besides your husband has lain with you”—
If, in fact, you have been unfaithful and have had sexual intercourse with another man,
But if you have gone astray while under the authority of your husband, and if you have defiled yourself and a man other than your husband has had intercourse with you”—
if, however, you have 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”
if you, however, have gone astray, being under the authority of your husband, and if you have defiled yourself and a man other than your husband has had intercourse with you”
But if you have gone astray while married to your husband, becoming defiled, and you have had sex with someone other than your husband,”
But if you have been unfaithful to your husband and have had sexual relations with a man besides him”—
But if you have gone astray while under your husband’s authority, and if you have defiled yourself and some man other than your husband has had sexual relations with you—”
But suppose you have gone astray while you are married to your husband. You have made yourself ‘unclean.’ You have had sex with a man who isn’t your husband.”
But if you have gone astray while married to your husband and you have made yourself impure by having sexual relations with a man other than your husband”—
But if you have gone astray while married to your husband and you have made yourself impure by having sexual relations with a man other than your husband’–
But if you have gone astray while under your husband’s authority, and if you have defiled yourself and some man other than your husband has lain with you”—
If you have turned away, while under the power of your husband, and have made yourself unclean by having another man who is not your husband,”
But if you have gone astray by being unfaithful to your husband, and have defiled yourself by having sex with another man—’
But if you have gone astray while under your husband’s authority, if you have defiled yourself and some man other than your husband has had intercourse with you’—
But if you have gone astray while under your husband’s authority, if you have defiled yourself and some man other than your husband has had intercourse with you’—
But if you have gone astray while under your husband’s authority, if you have defiled yourself and some man other than your husband has had intercourse with you,”
But if you have gone astray while under your husband’s authority, if you have defiled yourself and some man other than your husband has had intercourse with you,’
But if thou hast turned astray to another instead of thy ish, and if thou be defiled, and some man have lain with thee other than thine ish;
But if you have gone astray, though you are under your husband’s authority, and if you have defiled yourself, and some man other than your husband has lain with you,
But if you have gone astray, though you are under your husband’s authority, and if you have defiled yourself, and some man other than your husband has lain with you,
If, however, you have gone astray from your husband and if you became impure and had sexual relations with a man other than your husband’—
But if you are guilty of rejecting your husband’s authority and having sexual relations with someone other than your husband,”
But if you have gone astray, being under your husband’s authority, and if you are defiled, and some man has lain with you besides your husband—”
else if thou bowedest away from thine husband, and art defouled, and hast lain with another man, (but if thou hast turned away from thy husband, and art defiled, and hast lain with another man,)
and thou, if thou hast turned aside under thy husband, and if thou hast been defiled, and any man doth give his copulation to thee besides thy husband --
