Study Notes
Unclean Individuals and Camp Rules
- Individuals with infectious skin diseases, discharges, or who are unclean due to contact with a dead body were to be sent outside the camp, except those with baldness and sores (Num. 5:2).
- The reason for sending the unclean away was to maintain holiness, as the LORD dwells among the people (Num. 5:3).
Confession and Restitution
- A person who wrongs another must confess their sin and make restitution, along with an animal sacrifice (Num. 5:6ff).
- Restitution requires not just the return of what was taken, but an additional one-fifth of the value (Num. 5:7).
- If the wronged individual has no relatives, restitution goes to the priest, and it ultimately belongs to the LORD (Num. 5:8).
Jealousy Law
- A jealous husband suspects his wife of infidelity and must bring her to a priest if he has concerns (Num. 6:15).
- The grain offering in cases of jealousy consists of an ephah of barley flour without oil (Num. 5:15).
- The priest adds dust from the tabernacle floor into the water during the jealousy ritual (Num. 5:17).
Ritual for Suspected Infidelity
- The woman must hold the remainder of the grain offering in her hands while standing before the LORD (Num. 5:18).
- If found guilty, the woman will suffer bodily afflictions, specifically her stomach swelling and thigh wasting away (Num. 5:22).
- The curses that may befall her are inscribed on a scroll and then washed into the bitter water she drinks (Num. 5:23).
Consequences of the Ritual
- A sign of the woman's immorality after drinking the bitter water would be her physical affliction (stomach swelling and thigh wasting away) (Num. 5:27).
- If the charges are substantiated, she becomes accursed among the people (Num. 5:27).
- If exonerated, she is cleared of guilt and can have children again (Num. 5:28).
