then I will send you rain in the right season and your land shall yield her increase and the trees of the field shall give their fruit.

And so your labour shall be spent in vain. For your land shall not give her increase, neither the trees of the land shall give their fruits.

Then the land shall rejoice in her Sabbaths, as long as it lieth void and ye in your enemies' land: even then shall the land keep holy day and rejoice in her Sabbaths.

For the land shall be left of them and shall have pleasure in her Sabbaths, while she lieth waste without them, and they shall make an atonement for their misdeeds, because they despised my laws and their souls refused mine ordinances.

And they shall take a cloth of jacinth and cover the candlestick of light and her lamps and her snuffers, and firepans, and all her oil vessels which they occupy about it,

and shall put upon her and on all her instruments, a covering of taxus' skins, and put it upon staves.

And upon the golden altar they shall spread a cloth of jacinth, and put on her staves.

so that another man lie with her, fleshly; and the thing be hid from the eyes of her husband and is not come to light that she is defiled - for there is no witness against her, inasmuch as she was not taken with the manner -

Then let her husband bring her unto the priest and bring an offering for her: the tenth part of an ephah of barley meal, but shall pour none oil thereunto, nor put frankincense thereon: for it is an offering of jealousy, and an offering that maketh remembrance of sin.

"'And let the priest bring her and set her before the LORD,

And the priest shall set the wife before the LORD and uncover her head, and put the memorial of the offering in her hands which is the jealousy offering, and the priest shall have bitter and cursing water in his hand, and he shall conjure her and shall say unto her:

and let the priest conjure her with the conjuration of the curse, and say unto her: the LORD make thee a curse and a conjuration among thy people: so that the LORD make thy thigh rot, and thy womb to burst,

And when the cursing water is in her that it is bitter,

and he shall take a handful of the memorial offering and burn it upon the altar, and then make her drink the water.

And when he hath made her drink the water, if she be defiled and have trespassed against her husband, then shall the cursing water go into her and be so bitter, that her womb shall burst and her thigh shall rot, and she shall be a curse among her people.

This is the law of jealousy, when a wife goeth aside behind her husband and is defiled,

or when the spirit of jealousy cometh upon a man, so that he is jealous over his wife: then he shall bring her before the LORD, and the priest shall minister all this law unto her,

and the man shall be guiltless, and the wife shall bear her sin."

Oh, let her not be as one that came dead out of his mother's womb: for half her flesh is eaten away."

And Moses cried unto the LORD saying, "Oh God, heal her."

And the LORD said unto Moses, "If her father had spit in her face, should she not be ashamed seven days? Let her be shut out of the host seven days, and after that let her be received in again."

And they told him, saying, "We came unto the land whither thou sendedst us, and surely it is a land that floweth with milk and honey and here is of the fruit of it.

I, the LORD, have said that I will do it unto all this evil congregation that are gathered together against me: even in this wilderness ye shall be consumed, and here ye shall die."

And they rose up early in the morning and gat them up into the top of the mountain, saying, "Lo, we be here, and will go up unto the place of which the LORD said, for we have sinned."

But and if the LORD make a new thing, and the earth open her mouth and swallow them and all that pertain unto them, so that they go down quick in to hell: then ye shall understand, that these men have railed upon the LORD."

and the earth opened her mouth and swallowed them and their houses and all the men that were with Korah and all their goods.

"Speak unto Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest and let him take up the censers out of the burning and scatter the fire here and there,

"This is the ordinance of the law which the LORD commandeth, saying, 'Speak unto the children of Israel and let them take thee a red cow without spot wherein is no blemish, and which never bare yoke upon her.

And ye shall give her unto Eleazar the priest, and he shall bring her without the host and cause her to be slain before him.

And Eleazar the priest shall take of her blood upon his finger, and sprinkle it straight toward the tabernacle of witness seven times.

And he that burneth her, shall wash his clothes in water and bathe his flesh also in water, and be unclean until evening.

Why have ye brought the congregation of the LORD unto this wilderness, that both we and our cattle should die here?

And the people spake against God and against Moses, "Wherefore hast thou brought us out of Egypt, for to die in the wilderness? For here is neither bread nor water, and our souls loatheth this light bread."

And he said unto them, "Tarry here all night and I will bring you word, even as the LORD shall say unto me." And the lords of Moab abode with Balaam.

Nevertheless tarry ye here all night: that I may know what the LORD will say unto me once more."

And when the ass saw the angel of the LORD stand in the way, and his sword drawn in his hand, she turned aside out of the way and went out into the field. And Balaam smote the ass, to turn her into the way.

When the ass saw the angel of the LORD, she wrenched unto the wall and thrust Balaam's foot unto the wall, and he smote her again.

and the ass saw me and avoided me three times: or else, had she not turned from me, I had surely slain thee and saved her alive."

And Balaam said unto Balak, "Build me here seven altars and provide here seven oxen and seven rams."

And he said unto Balak, "Stand here, by thy sacrifice, while I go yonder."

And Balaam said unto Balak, "Make me here seven altars, and prepare me here seven bullocks and seven rams."

and went after the man of Israel into the whorehouse, and thrust them through: both the man of Israel and also the woman even through the belly of her. And the plague ceased from the children of Israel.

And the earth opened her mouth and swallowed them and Korah also, when the multitude died, what time the fire consumed two hundred and fifty men, and they became a sign:

If a damsel vow a vow unto the LORD and bind herself, being in her father's house and unmarried:

If her father hear her vow and bond which she hath made upon her soul, and hold his peace thereto: then all her vows and bonds which she hath made upon her soul shall stand in effect.

But and if her father forbid her the same day that he heareth it, none of her vows nor bonds which she hath made upon her soul shall be of value, and the LORD shall forgive her, because her father forbade her.

If she had a husband when she vowed or pronounced ought out of her lips wherewith she bound her soul,

and her husband heard it and held his peace thereat the same day he heard it: Then her vows and her bonds wherewith she bound her soul, shall stand in effect.

But and if her husband forbade her the same day that he heard it, then hath he made her vow which she had upon her of none effect, and that also which she pronounced with her lips wherewith she bound her soul, and the LORD shall forgive her.

The vow of a widow and of her that is divorced, and all that they have bound their souls withal, shall stand in effect with them.

If she vowed in her husband's house or bound her soul with an oath,

and her husband heard it and held his peace and forbade her not: then all her vows and bonds wherewith she bound her soul, shall stand.

But if her husband disannulled them the same day that he heard them, then nothing that proceeded out of her lips in vows and bonds wherewith she bound her soul shall stand in effect: for her husband hath loosed them, and the LORD shall forgive her.

"All vows and oaths that bind to humble the soul, may her husband establish or break.

But if her husband hold his peace from one day unto another, then he establisheth all her vows and bonds which she had upon her, because he held his peace the same day that he heard them.

And if he afterward break them, he shall bear her sin himself."

These are the ordinances which the LORD commanded Moses, between a man and his wife, and between the father and his daughter, being a damsel in her father's house.

And Moses said unto the children of Gad and of Reuben, "Shall your brethren go to war and ye tarry here?

And they went near him and said, "We will build sheepfolds here for our sheep and for our cattle, and cities for our children:

Our children, our wives, substance, and all our cattle, shall remain here in the cities of Gilead.

"Command the children of Israel and say unto them, 'When ye come into the land of Canaan, this is the land that shall fall unto your inheritance; the land of Canaan with all her coasts.

And every daughter that possesseth any inheritance among the tribes of the children of Israel, shall be wife unto one of the kindred of the tribe of her father, that the children of Israel may enjoy every man the inheritance of his father,

The LORD made not this covenant with our fathers, but with us: we are they, which are all here alive this day.

But stand thou here before me and I will tell thee all the commandments, ordinances and laws which thou shalt teach them, that they may do them in the land which I give them to possess.'

and what he did unto Dathan and Abiram the sons of Eliab the son of Reuben, how the earth opened her mouth and swallowed them with their households and their tents and all their substance that was in their possession, in the midst of Israel.

and then the wrath of the LORD wax hot upon you and shut up the heaven that there be no rain and that your land yield not her fruit, and that ye perish quickly from off the good land which the LORD giveth you.

Ye shall do after nothing that we do here this day - every man what seemeth him good in his own eyes -

the ixion, the vulture, the kite and her kind,

the ostrich, the nightcrow, the cuckoo, the sparrowhawk and all her kind,

And if any man be betrothed unto a wife and have not taken her, let him go and return again unto his house, lest he die in the battle and another take her.'

and let them bring her unto a valley where is neither earing nor sowing, and strike off her head there in the valley.

and seest among the captives a beautiful woman and hast a fantasy unto her that thou wouldest have her to thy wife;

then bring her home to thine house and let her shave her head and pare her nails

and put her raiment that she was taken in from her, and let her remain in thine house and beweep her father and her mother a month long and after that go in unto her and marry her and let her be thy wife.

And if thou have no favour unto her, then let her go whither she lusteth: for thou mayest not sell her for money nor make chevisance of her, because thou hast humbled her.

If a man take a wife, and when he hath lain with her hate her,

and lay shameful things unto her charge and bring up an evil name upon her and say, 'I took this wife, and when I came to her, I found her not a maid':

And let the damsel's father say unto the elders, 'I gave my daughter unto this man to wife and he hateth her:

and lo, he layeth shameful things unto her charge saying: I found not thy daughter a maid. And yet these are the tokens of my daughter's virginity.' And let them spread the vesture before the elders of the city.

and merce him in a hundred sicles of silver and give them unto the father of the damsel, because he hath brought up an evil name upon a maid in Israel. And she shall be his wife, and he may not put her away all his days.

let them bring her unto the door of her father's house, and let the men of that city stone her with stones to death, because she hath wrought folly in Israel, to play the whore in her father's house. And so thou shalt put evil away from thee.

If a maid be handfasted unto a husband, and then a man find her in the town and lay with her,

But if a man find a betrothed damsel in the field and force her and lie with her: Then the man that lay with her shall die alone,

For he found her in the fields and the betrothed damsel cried: but there was no man to help her.

If a man find a maid that is not betrothed and take her and lie with her and be found:

Then the man that lay with her shall give unto the damsel's father fifty sicles of silver. And she shall be his wife, because he hath humbled her, and he may not put her away all his days.

When a man hath taken a wife and married her, if she find no favour in his eyes, because he hath spied some uncleanness in her: Then let him write her a bill of divorcement and put it in her hand and send her out of his house.

and the second husband hate her and write her a letter of divorcement and put it in her hand and send her out of his house, or if the second man die which took her to wife;

her first man which sent her away may not take her again to be his wife, inasmuch as she is defiled. For that is abomination in the sight of the LORD: that thou defile not the land with sin, which the LORD thy God giveth thee to inherit.

When brethren dwell together and one of them die and have no child, the wife of the dead shall not be given out unto a stranger: but her brother-in-law shall go in unto her and take her to wife and marry her.

But and if the man will not take his sister-in-law, then let her go to the gate unto the elders and say, 'My brother-in-law refuseth to stir up unto his brother a name in Israel, he will not marry me.'

Then let the elders of his city call unto him and commune with him. If he stand and say, 'I will not take her,'

If, when men strive together, one with another, the wife of the one run to, for to rid her husband out of the hands of him that smiteth him and put forth her hand and take him by the privates:

cut off her hand, and let not thine eye pity her.

Thou shalt be betrothed unto a wife, and another shall lie with her. Thou shalt build a house and another shall dwell therein. Thou shalt plant a vineyard, and shalt not make it common.

Yea, and the woman that is so tender and delicate among you that she dare not venture to set the sole of her foot upon the ground for softness and tenderness, shall be grieved to look on the husband that lieth in her bosom and on her son and on her daughter -

even because of the afterbirth, that is come out from between her legs, and because of her children which she hath borne, because she would eat them for need of all things; secretly, in the straitness and siege wherewith thine enemy shall besiege thee in thy cities.

Ye stand here this day every one of you before the LORD your God: both the heads of your tribes, your elders, your officers and all the men of Israel;

but both with him that stoodeth here with us this day before the LORD our God, and also with him that is not here with us this day.

As an eagle that stirreth up her nest and fluttereth over her young, he stretched out his wings and took him up and bare him on his shoulders.
