18and the priestH3548 shall setH5414 the womanH802 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068, and letH5414 the hairH7218 of the woman’sH802 headH7218 goH1961 looseH5921, and putH5414 the mealH4503 offering of memorialH2146 in herH5921 handsH3027, whichH1931 is the mealH4503 offering of jealousyH7068: and the priestH3548 shall have in his handH3027 the waterH4325 of bitternessH4751 that causeth the curseH779:

19and the priestH3548 shall cause herH413 to swearH7650, and shall sayH559 unto the womanH802, IfH518 noH3808 manH376 have lainH7901 with thee, and ifH518 thou hast notH3808 goneH7847 asideH7847 to uncleannessH2932, being underH8478 thy husbandH376, be thou freeH5352 from this waterH4325 of bitternessH4751 that causeth the curseH779:

20but ifH3588 thou hast goneH7847 asideH1107, being underH8478 thy husbandH376, and ifH3588 thou be defiledH2930, and someH376 manH376 have lain with thee besidesH1107 thine husbandH376:

21then the priestH3548 shall causeH5414 the womanH802 to swearH7650 with the oathH7621 of cursing, and the priestH3548 shall sayH559 unto the womanH802, The LORDH3068 makeH5414 thee a curseH423 and an oathH7621 among thy peopleH5971, when the LORDH3068 doth makeH5414 thy thighH3409 to fallH5307 awayH5307, and thy bellyH990 to swellH6639;

22and this waterH4325 that causeth the curseH779 shall goH935 intoH935 thy bowelsH4578, and make thy bellyH990 to swellH6638, and thy thighH3409 to fallH5307 awayH5307: and the womanH802 shall sayH559, AmenH543, AmenH543.

23And the priestH3548 shall writeH3789 theseH428 cursesH423 in a bookH5612, and he shall blot them outH413 intoH413 the waterH4325 of bitternessH4751:

24and he shall make the womanH802 drinkH8248 the waterH4325 of bitternessH4751 that causeth the curseH779: and the waterH4325 that causeth the curseH779 shall enterH935 intoH935 herH802 and become bitterH4751.

25And the priestH3548 shall takeH3947 the mealH4503 offering of jealousyH7068 outH6440 of the woman’sH802 handH3027, and shall waveH5130 the mealH4503 offering beforeH6440 the LORDH3068, and bringH7126 it unto the altarH4196:

26and the priestH3548 shall takeH7061 an handfulH7061 of the mealH4503 offering, as the memorialH234 thereof, and burnH6999 it uponH802 the altarH4196, and afterwardH310 shall make the womanH802 drinkH8248 the waterH4325.

27And when he hath madeH1961 herH802 drinkH8248 the waterH4325, then it shall comeH935 to passH935, ifH518 sheH518 be defiledH2930, and have committedH4603 a trespassH4604 againstH376 herH802 husbandH376, that the waterH4325 that causeth the curseH779 shall enterH935 intoH935 herH802 and becomeH1961 bitterH4751, and herH802 bellyH990 shall swellH6638, and herH802 thighH3409 shall fallH5307 awayH5307: and the womanH802 shall be a curseH779 among herH802 peopleH5971.
