¹⁶ And Aaron and his sons are to eat ^(A)what is left of it. It shall be eaten as unleavened cakes in a holy place; they are to eat it in the courtyard of the tent of meeting.

^26 (A)The priest who offers it for sin shall eat it. It shall be eaten in a holy place, in the courtyard of the tent of meeting.

^6 (A)Every male among the priests may eat it. It shall be eaten in a holy place; it is most holy.

³¹ And the priest shall offer up the fat in smoke on the altar, but ^(A)the breast shall belong to Aaron and to his sons. ³² And you shall give ^(B)the right thigh to the priest as a ^[a]contribution from the sacrifices of your peace offerings. ³³ The one among the sons of Aaron who offers the blood of the peace offerings and the fat, the right thigh shall be his as his portion. ³⁴ For I have taken from the sons of Israel ^(C)the breast of the wave offering and the thigh of the ^[b]contribution from the sacrifices of their peace offerings, and have given them to Aaron the priest and to his sons as their allotted portion forever from the sons of Israel.

³⁵ ‘This is the ^(D)allotment to Aaron and the allotment to his sons from the offerings by fire to the Lord, on that day when he presented them to serve as priests to the Lord. ^36 [c]These the Lord had commanded to be given them from the sons of Israel on the day that He ^(E)anointed them. It is their allotted portion forever throughout their generations.’”

³⁷ This is the law of the burnt offering, the grain offering, the sin offering and the guilt offering, and ^(F)the ordination offering and the sacrifice of peace offerings, ^38 (G)which the Lord commanded Moses on Mount Sinai on the day that He commanded the sons of Israel to ^[d]present their offerings to the Lord in the wilderness of Sinai.

^9 (A)Also every ^[a]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 ^(B)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 ^(C)goes astray and is unfaithful to him, ¹³ and a man has ^(D)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 [b]if ^[c]an attitude of ^(E)jealousy comes over him and he is jealous of his wife when she has defiled herself, or if ^[d]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 ^[e]an offering for her a tenth of an ^[f]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, ^(F)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 ^[g]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 ^[h]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 ^(G)gone astray into uncleanness, as you are under the authority of your husband, be ^[i]immune to this water of bitterness that brings a curse; ²⁰ if, however, you have ^(H)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 ^(I)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 ^[j]shriveled and your ^[k]belly swollen; ²² and this water that brings a curse shall go into your ^[l]stomach, to make your belly swell up and your thigh ^[m]shrivel.” And the woman ^(J)shall say, “Amen, Amen.”

²³ ‘The priest shall then write these curses on a scroll, and he shall ^[n]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 ^[o]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 ^(K)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 ^[p]and cause bitterness, and her belly will swell up and her thigh will ^[q]shrivel, and the woman will become ^(L)a curse among her people. ²⁸ But if the woman has not defiled herself and is clean, she will be ^[r]immune and conceive ^[s]children.

²⁹ ‘This is the law of jealousy: when a wife, who is under the authority of her husband, ^(M)goes astray and defiles herself, ³⁰ or when ^[t]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 ^[u]guilt, but that woman shall ^(N)bear the consequences of her ^[v]guilt.’”
