Numbers 5:21-31
21Then the priestH3548 shall chargeH7650 the womanH802 with an oathH7621 of cursingH423, and the priestH3548 shall sayH559 to the womanH802, The LORDH3068 makeH5414 thee a curseH423 and an oathH7621 amongH8432 thy peopleH5971, when the LORDH3068 doth makeH5414 thy thighH3409 to perishH5307, and thy bellyH990 to swellH6639;1 22And this waterH4325 that causeth the curseH779 shall goH935 into thy bowelsH4578, to make thy bellyH990 to swellH6638, and thy thighH3409 to perishH5307: And the womanH802 shall sayH559, AmenH543, amenH543. 23And the priestH3548 shall writeH3789 these cursesH423 in a bookH5612, and he shall blotH4229 them out with the bitterH4751 waterH4325: 24And he shall cause the womanH802 to drinkH8248 the bitterH4751 waterH4325 that causeth the curseH779: and the waterH4325 that causeth the curseH779 shall enterH935 into her, and become bitterH4751. 25Then the priestH3548 shall takeH3947 the jealousyH7068 offeringH4503 out of the woman’sH802 handH3027, and shall waveH5130 the offeringH4503 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068, and offerH7126 it upon the altarH4196: 26And the priestH3548 shall take an handfulH7061 of the offeringH4503, even the memorialH234 of it, and burnH6999 it upon the altarH4196, and afterwardH310 shall cause the womanH802 to drinkH8248 the waterH4325. 27And when he hath made her to drinkH8248 the waterH4325, then it shall come to pass, that, if she is defiledH2930, and hath doneH4603 trespassH4604 against her husbandH376, that the waterH4325 that causeth the curseH779 shall enterH935 into her, and become bitterH4751, and her bellyH990 shall swellH6638, and her thighH3409 shall perishH5307: and the womanH802 shall be a curseH423 amongH7130 her peopleH5971. 28And if the womanH802 is not defiledH2930, but is cleanH2889; then she shall be freeH5352, and shall conceiveH2232 seedH2233. 29This is the lawH8451 of jealousiesH7068, when a wifeH802 goeth astrayH7847 to another instead of her husbandH376, and is defiledH2930; 30Or when the spiritH7307 of jealousyH7068 comethH5674 upon himH376, and he is jealousH7065 over his wifeH802, and shall setH5975 the womanH802 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068, and the priestH3548 shall executeH6213 upon her all this lawH8451. 31Then shall the manH376 be guiltlessH5352 from iniquityH5771, and thisH1931 womanH802 shall bearH5375 her iniquityH5771.
