Numbers 5:11-19

11And Jehovah spake unto MosesH4872, sayingH559, 12SpeakH1696 unto the children of IsraelH3478, and sayH559 unto them, If any man’sH376 wifeH802 go asideH7847, and commit a trespass against him, 13and a manH376 lieH7901 with her carnally, and it be hidH5641 from the eyesH5869 of her husbandH376, and be kept close, and she be defiledH2930, and there be no witnessH5707 against her, and she be not taken in the act; 14and the spiritH7307 of jealousyH7068 come upon him, and he be jealousH7065 of his wifeH802, and she be defiledH2930: or if the spiritH7307 of jealousyH7068 come upon him, and he be jealousH7065 of his wifeH802, and she be not defiledH2930: 15then shall the manH376 bringH935 his wifeH802 unto the priestH3548, and shall bringH935 her oblation for her, the tenthH6224 part of an ephahH374 of barleyH8184 meal; he shall pourH3332 no oilH8081 upon it, nor putH5414 frankincenseH3828 thereon; for it is a meal-offering of jealousyH7068, a meal-offering of memorialH2146, bringingH935 iniquityH5771 to remembranceH2142.

16And the priestH3548 shall bringH7126 her near, and setH5975 her before Jehovah: 17and the priestH3548 shall takeH3947 holyH6918 waterH4325 in an earthen vesselH3627; and of the dustH6083 that is on the floorH7172 of the tabernacleH4908 the priestH3548 shall takeH3947, and putH5414 it into the waterH4325. 18And the priestH3548 shall setH5414 the womanH802 before Jehovah, and let the hair of the woman’sH802 headH7218 go loose, and putH5414 the meal-offering of memorialH2146 in her handsH3027, which is the meal-offering of jealousyH7068: and the priestH3548 shall have in his handH3027 the waterH4325 of bitternessH4751 that causeth the curseH779. 19And the priestH3548 shall cause her to swearH7650, and shall sayH559 unto the womanH802, If no manH376 have lainH7901 with thee, and if thou have not gone asideH7847 to uncleannessH2932, being under thy husbandH376, be thou freeH5352 from this waterH4325 of bitternessH4751 that causeth the curseH779.
