Numbers 5
5:11 The Lord spoke to Moses: 5:12 "Speak to the Israelites and tell them,
'If any man's wife goes astray and behaves unfaithfully toward him, 5:13 and
a man has sexual relations with her without her husband knowing it, and it
is hidden that she has defiled herself, since there was no witness against
her, nor was she caught - 5:14 and if jealous feelings come over him and he
becomes suspicious of his wife, when she is defiled; or if jealous feelings
come over him and he becomes suspicious of his wife, when she is not
defiled - 5:15 then the man must bring his wife to the priest, and he must
bring the offering required for her, one tenth of an ephah of barley meal;
he must not pour olive oil on it or put frankincense on it, because it is a
grain offering of suspicion, a grain offering for remembering, for bringing
iniquity to remembrance.

5:16 "'Then the priest will bring her near and have her stand before the
Lord. 5:17 The priest will then take holy water in a pottery jar, and take
some of the dust that is on the floor of the tabernacle, and put it into the
water. 5:18 Then the priest will have the woman stand before the Lord,
uncover the woman's head, and put the grain offering for remembering in her
hands, which is the grain offering of suspicion. The priest will hold in his
hand the bitter water that brings a curse. 5:19 Then the priest will put the
woman under oath and say to the her, "If no other man has had sexual
relations with you, and if you have not gone astray and become defiled while
under your husband's authority, may you be free from this bitter water that
brings a curse. 5:20 But if you have gone astray while under your husband's
authority, and if you have defiled yourself and some man other than your
husband has had sexual relations with you.." 5:21 Then the priest will put
the woman under the oath of the curse and will say to the her, "The Lord
make you an attested curse among your people, if the Lord makes your thigh
fall away and your abdomen swell; 5:22 and this water that causes the curse
will go into your stomach, and make your abdomen swell and your thigh rot."
Then the woman must say, "Amen, amen."

5:23 "'Then the priest will write these curses on a scroll and then scrape
them off into the bitter water. 5:24 He will make the woman drink the bitter
water that brings a curse, and the water that brings a curse will enter her
to produce bitterness. 5:25 The priest will take the grain offering of
suspicion from the woman's hand, wave the grain offering before the Lord,
and bring it to the altar. 5:26 Then the priest will take a handful of the
grain offering as its memorial portion, burn it on the altar, and afterward
make the woman drink the water. 5:27 When he has made her drink the water,
then, if she has defiled herself and behaved unfaithfully toward her
husband, the water that brings a curse will enter her to produce
bitterness - her abdomen will swell, her thigh will fall away, and the woman
will become a curse among her people. 5:28 But if the woman has not defiled
herself, and is clean, then she will be free of ill effects and will be able
to bear children.

5:29 "'This is the law for cases of jealousy, when a wife, while under her
husband's authority, goes astray and defiles herself, 5:30 or when jealous
feelings come over a man and he becomes suspicious of his wife; then he must
have the woman stand before the Lord, and the priest will carry out all this
law upon her. 5:31 Then the man will be free from iniquity, but that woman
will bear the consequences of her iniquity.'"
