11
And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying,
12
Speak unto the sons of Israel and say unto them, If any man’s wife goes astray and betrays him,
13
and a man lies with her carnally, and it is hid from the eyes of her husband because she contaminated herself in secret, and
there is no witness against her, neither was she taken in the act;
14
if a spirit of jealousy should come upon him, and he becomes jealous of his wife, and she is defiled; or if a spirit of jealousy comes upon him, and he becomes jealous of his wife, and she is not defiled,
15
then shall the man bring his wife unto the priest, and he shall bring her offering for her, the tenth
part of an ephah of barley meal; he shall pour no oil upon it, nor put frankincense thereon; for it
is a present of jealousy, a present of remembrance, which brings iniquity to memory.
16
And the priest shall bring her near and set her before the LORD.
17
Then the priest shall take holy water in an earthen vessel; and of the dust that is in the floor of the tabernacle the priest shall take and put
it into the water.
18
And the priest shall cause the woman to stand before the LORD and shall uncover the woman’s head and put the present of remembrance in her hands, which
is the present of jealousy; and the priest shall have in his hand the bitter water that brings the curse.
19
And the priest shall charge her by an oath and say unto the woman, If no man has lain with thee, and if thou hast not gone astray from thy husband to uncleanness, thou shalt be clean from this bitter water that brings the curse.
20
But if thou hast gone astray from thy husband and hast defiled thyself and some man has placed seed in thee other than thine husband,
21
(the priest shall charge the woman with an oath of cursing) and the priest shall say unto the woman, Let the LORD make thee a curse and an oath among thy people when the LORD makes thy thigh to fail and thy belly to swell,
