Numbers 5:19-28

NSB(i) 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!« 23 »The priest will write these curses on a scroll and wash them off into the bitter water. 24 »He will have the woman drink the bitter water that can bring the curse. This water will go into her and become bitter. 25 »The priest will take the grain offering she was holding. He will present it to Jehovah, and bring it to the altar. 26 »The priest will take a handful of the grain offering as a memorial portion and burn it on the altar. Then he will have the woman drink the water. 27 »If she has become unclean by being unfaithful to her husband, the water that can bring the curse will go into her and become bitter. Her stomach will swell, her uterus will drop, and she will become cursed among her people. 28 »However if the woman is not unclean and is pure, she is not guilty and will be able to have children.
