Gen Z: Numbers 5
1And the Lord was like, "Moses, listen up,"
2Tell the kids of Israel to kick out anyone with leprosy, anyone who's got issues, and anyone who's touched a dead body, no cap.
3Both guys and gals gotta be sent out; don't let them mess up the camp where I chill.
4The Israelites did what God said and sent them out of the camp, just like the Lord told Moses, periodt.
5And the Lord was like, "Moses, check this out,"
6Tell the Israelites that if anyone messes up and sins against the Lord, they gotta own up to it.
7They need to confess their mess-ups, pay back what they owe, plus 20% extra, and give it to the person they wronged.
8But if the dude has no one to pay back, he can give it to the Lord, like, to the priest, along with a ram for atonement, that's how you make it right.
9And everything the Israelites bring to the priest from their holy stuff? That's all for him, slaps.
10Every dude's holy stuff is his own; whatever anyone gives to the priest, that’s all his, fr.
11Yo, the Lord hit up Moses and was like,
12Tell the squad of Israel, if a dude’s wife is acting sus and messes around,
13And a guy gets with her on the low, and it’s all hush-hush from her husband, and she’s messed up, but no one’s seen it go down;
14And jealousy hits him hard, and he’s salty about his wife being defiled, or if he’s just feeling jealous for no reason:
15Then the dude should take his wife to the priest, and he’s gotta bring her a snack offering, just a little barley meal; no oil or frankincense, 'cause it’s a jealousy thing, a reminder of the drama.
16The priest will bring her close and put her in front of the Lord:
17The priest will grab some holy water in a clay jar; he’ll scoop up some dust from the tabernacle floor and throw it in the water:
18Then the priest will put the woman in front of the Lord, take off her head covering, and give her the reminder offering, which is the jealousy offering, while holding the bitter water that brings the curse:
19The priest will make her swear an oath and say, "If no dude has been with you and you haven’t been unfaithful, you’re good to go with this bitter water:
20But if you’ve been sneaky with another guy instead of your husband, and you’re defiled, and some other dude has been with you, then it’s a whole different vibe:"
21The priest's gotta hit the woman with a curse oath, saying, "God's gonna make you a whole vibe of a curse among your people if your thigh starts rotting and your belly swells, no cap."
22This curse water’s gonna go right into your guts, making your belly swell and your thigh rot. The woman’s gotta say, "Amen, amen."
23The priest's gonna jot down these curses in a book and wipe them out with the bitter water, fr.
24He’s gonna make her drink that bitter water that brings the curse, and it’s gonna hit her hard and be all bitter inside.
25Then the priest's gonna take the jealousy offering from her hand, wave it before God, and pop it off on the altar.
26The priest's gonna grab a handful of that offering, burn it on the altar, then make the woman drink the water, periodt.
27After she drinks, if she’s been sus and cheated on her husband, that curse water's gonna hit her hard, making her belly swell and thigh rot, and she’ll be a whole curse among her people.
28But if she’s clean and not defiled, she’s good to go and can still have kids, lit.
29This is the law for jealousy when a wife goes off to another dude instead of her husband and gets all messed up.
30Or when jealousy vibes hit him over his wife, and he brings her before God, the priest's gotta enforce all this law on her, no cap.
31Bro, the dude’s off the hook for his wrongs, but this girl gotta own her stuff.
