Numbers 5

YHWH commands Moses to expel from the camp those with skin diseases, discharges, or defilement from touching a corpse, both male and female, to maintain purity where He dwells[1][2][3]. The chapter addresses restitution for sins against others—confession and full repayment plus one-fifth—and the ordeal of bitter water for a wife suspected of adultery, where guilt results in curse and innocence in vindication[1][2][3].
