Numbers 5:18-27

18Then the priest must bring the woman in front of the Lord. The priest must make the woman's hair free. He must put into her hands the grain offering. That is the offering because the man does not trust his wife. The priest must hold the bowl that contains the bitter water. The bitter water brings a curse.

19Then the woman must agree to the strong promise that the priest tells her to say. The priest must say to her, “This water brings a curse. If no other man has had sex with you, it will not hurt you.

20But if another man has had sex with you,

21may the Lord bring the curse on you. The bitter water will cause your female parts to become smaller. Your stomach will become very big.

22That will happen when you drink the bitter water.” The woman must say, “That should happen. I agree!”

23The priest must write the curses on special paper. Then he must wash the words off the paper into the bitter water.

24He must tell the woman that she must drink the bitter water. This water that brings a curse will go into her body. It may cause her to be very ill.

25But first, the priest must take the grain offering from her hands. That is the offering because the man does not trust his wife. The priest must lift it up in front of the Lord. Then he must bring it to the altar.

26He must burn a small part of it as a sacrifice. After that, the woman must drink the bitter water.

27If the woman has had sex with another man, the water will cause her to have very bad pain. Her female parts will become smaller. Her stomach will become very big. And people will curse her.
