God’s Word Translation
Numbers 5:22-27
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.
