Numbers 5:1-7 New American Bible, Revised Edition (NABRE)

1. The Lord said to Moses:

2. Order the Israelites to expel from camp everyone with a scaly infection, and everyone suffering from a discharge, and everyone who has become unclean by contact with a corpse.

3. Male and female alike, you shall expel them. You shall expel them from the camp so that they do not defile their camp, where I dwell in their midst.

4. This the Israelites did, expelling them from the camp; just as the Lord had commanded Moses, so the Israelites did.

5. The Lord said to Moses:

6. Tell the Israelites: If a man or a woman commits any offense against another person, thus breaking faith with the Lord, and thereby becomes guilty,

7. that person shall confess the wrong that has been done, make restitution in full, and in addition give one fifth of its value to the one that has been wronged.
