If one be foundH4672 slainH2491 in the landH127 which the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 givethH5414 thee to possessH3423 it, lyingH5307 in the fieldH7704, and it be not knownH3045 who hath slainH5221 him:
Then thy eldersH2205 and thy judgesH8199 shall come forthH3318, and they shall measureH4058 unto the citiesH5892 which are round aboutH5439 him that is slainH2491:
And it shall be, that the cityH5892 which is nextH7138 unto the slain manH2491, even the eldersH2205 of that cityH5892 shall takeH3947 an heiferH1241+H5697, which hath not been wrought withH5647, and which hath not drawnH4900 in the yokeH5923;
And the eldersH2205 of that cityH5892 shall bring downH3381 the heiferH5697 unto a roughH386 valleyH5158, which is neither earedH5647 nor sownH2232, and shall strike offH6202 the heifer'sH5697 neckH6202 there in the valleyH5158:
And the priestsH3548 the sonsH1121 of LeviH3878 shall come nearH5066; for them the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 hath chosenH977 to ministerH8334 unto him, and to blessH1288 in the nameH8034 of the LORDH3068; and by their wordH6310 shall every controversyH7379 and every strokeH5061 be tried: {word: Heb. mouth}
And all the eldersH2205 of that cityH5892, that are nextH7138 unto the slainH2491 man, shall washH7364 their handsH3027 over the heiferH5697 that is beheadedH6202 in the valleyH5158:
And they shall answerH6030 and sayH559, Our handsH3027 have not shedH8210 this bloodH1818, neither have our eyesH5869 seenH7200 it.
Be mercifulH3722, O LORDH3068, unto thy peopleH5971 IsraelH3478, whom thou hast redeemedH6299, and layH5414 not innocentH5355 bloodH1818 unto thy peopleH5971 of Israel'sH3478 chargeH7130. And the bloodH1818 shall be forgivenH3722 them. {unto thy people of: Heb. in the midst, etc}
So shalt thou put awayH1197 the guilt of innocentH5355 bloodH1818 from amongH7130 you, when thou shalt doH6213 that which is rightH3477 in the sightH5869 of the LORDH3068.
When thou goest forthH3318 to warH4421 against thine enemiesH341, and the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 hath deliveredH5414 them into thine handsH3027, and thou hast takenH7617 them captiveH7628,
And seestH7200 among the captivesH7633 a beautifulH8389+H3303 womanH802, and hast a desireH2836 unto her, that thou wouldest have herH3947 to thy wifeH802;
Then thou shalt bringH935 her homeH8432 to thine houseH1004; and she shall shaveH1548 her headH7218, and pareH6213 her nailsH6856; {pare: or, suffer to grow: Heb. make, or, dress}
And she shall putH5493 the raimentH8071 of her captivityH7628 from off her, and shall remainH3427 in thine houseH1004, and bewailH1058 her fatherH1 and her motherH517 a fullH3117 monthH3391: and afterH310 that thou shalt goH935 in unto her, and be her husbandH1166, and she shall be thy wifeH802.
And it shall be, if thou have no delightH2654 in her, then thou shalt let her goH7971 whither she willH5315; but thou shalt not sellH4376 her at allH4376 for moneyH3701, thou shalt not make merchandiseH6014 of her, becauseH834 thou hast humbledH6031 her.
If a manH376 have twoH8147 wivesH802, oneH259 belovedH157, and anotherH259 hatedH8130, and they have bornH3205 him childrenH1121, both the belovedH157 and the hatedH8130; and if the firstbornH1060 sonH1121 be hers that was hatedH8146:
Then it shall be, whenH3117 he maketh his sonsH1121 to inheritH5157 that which he hath, that he mayH3201 not make the sonH1121 of the belovedH157 firstbornH1069 beforeH6440 the sonH1121 of the hatedH8130, which is indeed the firstbornH1060:
But he shall acknowledgeH5234 the sonH1121 of the hatedH8130 for the firstbornH1060, by givingH5414 him a doubleH8147 portionH6310 of all that he hathH4672: for he is the beginningH7225 of his strengthH202; the rightH4941 of the firstbornH1062 is his. {that…: Heb. that is found with him}
If a manH376 have a stubbornH5637 and rebelliousH4784 sonH1121, which will not obeyH8085 the voiceH6963 of his fatherH1, or the voiceH6963 of his motherH517, and that, when they have chastenedH3256 him, will not hearkenH8085 unto them:
Then shall his fatherH1 and his motherH517 lay holdH8610 on him, and bring him outH3318 unto the eldersH2205 of his cityH5892, and unto the gateH8179 of his placeH4725;
And they shall sayH559 unto the eldersH2205 of his cityH5892, This our sonH1121 is stubbornH5637 and rebelliousH4784, he will not obeyH8085 our voiceH6963; he is a gluttonH2151, and a drunkardH5433.
And all the menH582 of his cityH5892 shall stoneH7275 him with stonesH68, that he dieH4191: so shalt thou putH1197 evilH7451 awayH1197 from amongH7130 you; and all IsraelH3478 shall hearH8085, and fearH3372.
And if a manH376 have committed a sinH2399 worthy ofH4941 deathH4194, and he be to be put to deathH4191, and thou hangH8518 him on a treeH6086:
His bodyH5038 shall not remain all nightH3885 upon the treeH6086, but thou shalt in any wiseH6912 buryH6912 him that dayH3117; (for he that is hangedH8518 is accursedH7045 of GodH430;) that thy landH127 be not defiledH2930, which the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 givethH5414 thee for an inheritanceH5159. {accursed…: Heb. the curse of God}

And the priestH3548 shall charge her by an oathH7650, and sayH559 unto the womanH802, If no manH376 have lainH7901 with thee, and if thou hast not gone asideH7847 to uncleannessH2932 with another instead of thy husbandH376, be thou freeH5352 from this bitterH4751 waterH4325 that causeth the curseH779: {with another…: or, being in the power of thy husband: Heb. under thy husband}
But if thou hast gone asideH7847 to another instead of thy husbandH376, and if thou be defiledH2930, and some manH376 haveH5414 lainH7903 with thee besideH1107 thine husbandH376:
Then the priestH3548 shall chargeH7650 the womanH802 with an oathH7621 of cursingH423, and the priestH3548 shall sayH559 unto the womanH802, The LORDH3068 makeH5414 thee a curseH423 and an oathH7621 amongH8432 thy peopleH5971, when the LORDH3068 doth makeH5414 thy thighH3409 to rotH5307, and thy bellyH990 to swellH6639; {rot: Heb. fall}
And this waterH4325 that causeth the curseH779 shall goH935 into thy bowelsH4578, to make thy bellyH990 to swellH6638, and thy thighH3409 to rotH5307: And the womanH802 shall sayH559, AmenH543, amenH543.
And the priestH3548 shall writeH3789 these cursesH423 in a bookH5612, and he shall blotH4229 them out with the bitterH4751 waterH4325:
And he shall cause the womanH802 to drinkH8248 the bitterH4751 waterH4325 that causeth the curseH779: and the waterH4325 that causeth the curseH779 shall enterH935 into her, and become bitterH4751.
Then the priestH3548 shall takeH3947 the jealousyH7068 offeringH4503 out of the woman'sH802 handH3027, and shall waveH5130 the offeringH4503 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068, and offerH7126 it upon the altarH4196:
And the priestH3548 shall take an handfulH7061 of the offeringH4503, even the memorialH234 thereof, and burnH6999 it upon the altarH4196, and afterwardH310 shall cause the womanH802 to drinkH8248 the waterH4325.
And when he hath made her to drinkH8248 the waterH4325, then it shall come to pass, that, if she be defiledH2930, and have doneH4603 trespassH4604 against her husbandH376, that the waterH4325 that causeth the curseH779 shall enterH935 into her, and become bitterH4751, and her bellyH990 shall swellH6638, and her thighH3409 shall rotH5307: and the womanH802 shall be a curseH423 amongH7130 her peopleH5971.
And if the womanH802 be not defiledH2930, but be cleanH2889; then she shall be freeH5352, and shall conceiveH2232 seedH2233.
The LORDH3068 hath returnedH7725 upon thee all the bloodH1818 of the houseH1004 of SaulH7586, in whose stead thou hast reignedH4427; and the LORDH3068 hath deliveredH5414 the kingdomH4410 into the handH3027 of AbsalomH53 thy sonH1121: and, behold, thou art taken in thy mischiefH7451, because thou art a bloodyH1818 manH376. {behold…: Heb. behold thee in thy evil}
