Numbers 5:22-27

22“May this water which brings a curse enter your body and cause your belly to swell and your thigh to rot.’ “The woman is to say, ‘Amen, amen!’

23“Then the kohen is to write these curses on a scroll and wash them into the waters of bitterness.

24The kohen will then have the woman drink the bitter water bearing curses, so that the water of the curses of bitterness enters her.

25The kohen is to take the jealousy offering from the woman’s hand, wave the offering before Adonai and bring it to the altar.

26The kohen is to take a handful of the grain offering and burn it up in smoke on the altar as a memorial offering. The kohen will then have the woman drink the water.

27“When she is made to drink the water that carries the curse, if she has defiled herself and been unfaithful to her husband, it will enter her and cause bitterness—her abdomen will swell and her thigh will waste away. She will be accursed among her people.
