Numbers 5:11-30

VIN(i) 11 Then the LORD spoke to Moses: 12 "Speak to the Israelites and say to them, 'If any man's wife goes astray and acts unfaithfully to him, 13 By taking as her lover another man, and keeps it secret so that her husband has no knowledge of it, and there is no witness against her, and she is not taken in the act; 14 If the spirit of jealousy stir up the husband against his wife, who either is defiled, or is charged with false suspicion, 15 then the man shall bring his wife to the priest. And he shall bring her offering for her, the tenth of an ephah of barley meal. He shall pour no oil upon it, nor put frankincense on it, for it is an offering of jealousy, a reminding offering, bringing iniquity to mind. 16 The priest shall bring her near, and set her before the LORD; 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 Then the priest makes the woman stand before the LORD and uncover her head and put in her hand the grain offering a memorial, a reminder of jealousy. But in the hand of the priest will be the bitter waters that bring a curse. 19 And the priest shall charge her by an oath, and say to the woman, If no man has lain with you, and if you have not gone aside to uncleanness, being under your husband, you are free from this bitter water that causes the curse. 20 But if you have gone astray, being under your husband, and if you are defiled, and some man has lain with you besides your husband:' 21 then the priest will make the woman swear under oath and say to the woman: May the LORD make you a curse and a curse among your people. When the LORD makes your thigh fall and your belly swell 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 And the priest will take from her hand the meal offering of doubt, waving it before the Lord, and will take 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. 29 This is the law of jealousies when a woman goes astray, being under the power of her husband, and is defiled; 30 or when a spirit of jealousy comes over a man and he is jealous of his wife, he will present the woman before the LORD,and the priest will do to her all of this law.
