Numbers 5:20-29
English Standard Version
Chapter 5
20But if you have gone astray, though you are under your husband 's authority, and if you have defiled yourself, and some man other than your husband has lain with you, 21then’ (let the priest make the woman take the oath of the curse, and say to the woman) ‘the Lord make you a curse and an oath among your people, when the Lord makes your thigh fall away and your body swell. 22May this water that brings the curse pass into your bowels and make your womb swell and your thigh fall away.’ And the woman shall say, ‘Amen, Amen.’
23"Then the priest shall write these curses in a book and wash them off into the water of bitterness.
24And he shall make the woman drink the water of bitterness that brings the curse, and the water that brings the curse shall enter into her and cause bitter pain.
25And the priest shall take the grain offering of jealousy out of the woman 's hand and shall wave the grain offering before the Lord and bring it to the altar.
26And the priest shall take a handful of the grain offering, as its memorial portion, and burn it on the altar, and afterward shall make the woman drink the water.
27And when he has made her drink the water, then, if she has defiled herself and has broken faith with her husband, the water that brings the curse shall enter into her and cause bitter pain, and her womb shall swell, and her thigh shall fall away, and the woman shall become a curse among her people.
28But if the woman has not defiled herself and is clean, then she shall be free and shall conceive children.
