Numbers 5:16-22

NSB(i) 16 »‘The priest will have the woman come forward and stand in Jehovah’s presence. 17 »‘The priest will then take holy water in a piece of pottery and put some dust from the floor of the tent into the water. 18 »‘The priest will bring the woman into Jehovah’s presence and loosen her hair. In her hands he will put the offering used for a confession, that is, the grain offering brought because of the husband’s jealousy. The priest will hold the bitter water that can bring a curse in his hands. 19 »‘The priest will say to her: ‘If no other man has had sexual intercourse with you and you have not been unfaithful to your husband, you are not guilty. This bitter water that can bring a curse will not harm you. 20 »‘If you have indeed been unfaithful and have had sexual intercourse with another man, 21 »‘Jehovah will make you an example for your people to see what happens when the curse of this oath comes true: Jehovah will make your uterus drop and your stomach swell. Then the priest will administer the oath and the curse by saying: 22 »‘May this water that can bring a curse go into your body and make your stomach swell and your uterus drop!’« Then the woman will say: »Amen!« »Amen!«
