Numbers 5:11-19

11Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, 12“Speak to the sons of Israel and say to them, ‘If any man’s wife 1goes astray and is unfaithful to him, 13and a man has 2intercourse with her and it is hidden from the eyes of her husband and she is 3undetected, although she has defiled herself, and there is no witness against her and she has not been caught in the act, 144if a spirit of 5jealousy comes over him and he is jealous of his wife when she has defiled herself, or if a spirit of jealousy comes over him and he is jealous of his wife when she has not defiled herself, 15the man shall then bring his wife to the priest, and shall bring as 6an offering for her one-tenth of an 7ephah of barley meal; he shall not pour oil on it nor put frankincense on it, for it is a grain offering of jealousy, a grain offering of memorial, 8a reminder of iniquity.

16‘Then the priest shall bring her near and have her stand before the Lord, 17and the priest shall take holy water in an earthenware vessel; and 9he shall take some of the dust that is on the floor of the tabernacle and put it into the water. 18The priest shall then have the woman stand before the Lord and let the hair of the woman’s head go loose, and place the grain offering of memorial 10in her hands, which is the grain offering of jealousy, and in the hand of the priest is to be the water of bitterness that brings a curse. 19The priest shall have her take an oath and shall say to the woman, “If no man has lain with you and if you have not 11gone astray into uncleanness, being under the authority of your husband, be 12immune to this water of bitterness that brings a curse;
