23‘The priestH3548 shall then writeH3789 theseH428 cursesH423 on a scrollH5612, and he shall 10washH4229 them offH4229 into the waterH4325 of bitternessH4751. 24Then he shall make the womanH802 drinkH8248 the waterH4325 of bitternessH4751 that bringsH779 a curseH779, so that the waterH4325 which bringsH779 a curseH779 will goH935 into her 11and cause bitternessH4751. 25The priestH3548 shall takeH3947 the grain offeringH4503 of jealousyH7068 from the woman’sH802 handH3027, and he shall waveH5130 the grain offeringH4503 beforeH6440 the LordH3068 and bringH7126 it to the altarH4196; 26and 12the priestH3548 shall takeH7061 a handfulH7061 of the grain offeringH4503 as its memorialH234 offeringH234 and offerH6999 it up in smokeH6999 on the altarH4196, and afterwardH310 he shall make the womanH802 drinkH8248 the waterH4325. 27When he has made her drinkH8248 the waterH4325, then it shall comeH1961 about, ifH518 she has defiledH2930 herself and has beenH4603 unfaithfulH4604 to her husbandH376, that the waterH4325 which bringsH779 a curseH779 will goH935 into her 13and cause bitternessH4751, and her abdomenH990 will swellH6638 and her thighH3409 will 14wasteH5307 awayH5307, and the womanH802 will becomeH1961 15a curseH423 amongH7130 her peopleH5971.
