22
and this water that causes the curse shall go into thy bowels and cause
thy belly to swell and
thy thigh to fail. And the woman shall say, Amen, amen.
23
And the priest shall write these curses in a book, and he shall blot
them out with the bitter water;
24
and he shall cause the woman to drink the bitter water that brings the curse, and the water that brings the curse shall enter into her as bitter.
25
Then the priest shall take the present of jealousy out of the woman’s hand and shall wave the offering before the LORD and offer it before the altar.
26
And the priest shall take a handful of the present, in memory of her, and incense
it upon the altar and afterward shall cause the woman to drink the water.
27
He shall give her, therefore, the water to drink, and it shall come to pass,
that if she is defiled and has betrayed her husband, that the water that works the curse shall enter into her in bitterness, and her belly shall swell, and her thigh shall fail; and that woman shall be a curse among her people.
28
But if the woman is not defiled, but is clean; then she shall be free and shall conceive seed.
29
This
is the law of jealousies when a woman goes astray,
being under the power of her husband, and is defiled;
30
or of the husband upon whom a spirit of jealousy comes, and he is jealous over his wife; he shall
then present the woman before the LORD, and the priest shall execute in her all this law.
31
And that man shall be free from iniquity, and the woman shall bear her iniquity.
