Numbers 5:21-31

21may the Lord make you an example for your people to see what happens when the curse of this oath comes true: The Lord will make your uterus drop and your stomach swell.’ “Then the priest will administer the oath and the curse by saying:

22‘May this water that can bring a curse go into your body and make your stomach swell and your uterus drop!’ “Then the woman will say, ‘Amen, amen!’

23“The priest will write these curses on a scroll and wash them off into the bitter water.

24Then he will have the woman drink the bitter water that can bring the curse. This water will go into her ⌞and⌟ become bitter.

25The priest will take the grain offering she was holding, present it to the Lord, and bring it to the altar.

26The priest will take a handful of the grain offering as a memorial portion and burn it on the altar. Then he will have the woman drink the water.

27If she has become unclean by being unfaithful to her husband, the water that can bring the curse will go into her and become bitter. Her stomach will swell, her uterus will drop, and she will become cursed among her people.

28But if the woman is not unclean and is pure, she is not guilty and will be able to have children.

29“These are the instructions for how to deal with jealousy. They tell you what to do when a woman is unfaithful to her husband and becomes unclean.

30They also tell you what to do when a husband has a fit of jealousy and is suspicious of his wife. He will make his wife stand in the Lord’s presence, and the priest will do everything these instructions tell him to do.

31The husband isn’t guilty of doing anything wrong, but the woman will suffer the consequences of her sin.”
