• Num 5:11-30 : 11 The Lord spoke to Moses, saying: 12 Speak to the Israelites: If a man’s wife goes astray and is unfaithful to him, 13 and another man has sexual relations with her secretly, and it is hidden from her husband, and she is not caught but has become defiled, even though there is no witness against her, 14 and if a spirit of jealousy comes over the husband and he becomes suspicious of his wife, whether she has defiled herself or not, 15 The man shall bring his wife to the priest, along with an offering on her behalf: a tenth of an ephah of barley flour. He shall not pour oil on it or put frankincense on it, because it is a grain offering for jealousy, a grain offering of remembrance to bring iniquity to mind. 16 The priest is to bring her forward and have her stand before the Lord. 17 Then the priest will take holy water in a clay jar and put some dust from the tabernacle floor into the water. 18 After the woman is made to stand before the Lord, the priest will loosen her hair, place the grain offering of remembrance, which is the grain offering for jealousy, into her hands, and hold in his hands the bitter water that brings a curse. 19 The priest shall put her under oath and say to her, 'If no man has lain with you and you have not gone astray, defiling yourself while under your husband’s authority, may you be free from this bitter water that brings a curse.' 20 But if you have gone astray while under your husband’s authority and defiled yourself, and if a man other than your husband has had sexual relations with you— 21 then the priest will put the woman under the curse oath and say to her, 'May the Lord make you a curse and an example of cursing among your people by making your thigh waste away and your abdomen swell.' 22 May this water that brings a curse enter your body, causing your abdomen to swell and your thigh to waste away.' And the woman shall say, 'Amen, Amen.' 23 The priest is to write these curses on a scroll and then wash them off into the bitter water. 24 He shall make the woman drink the bitter water that brings a curse, and it will enter her, causing bitter suffering. 25 The priest shall take the jealousy offering from the woman’s hand, wave the offering before the Lord, and bring it to the altar. 26 The priest shall take a handful of the offering as its memorial portion and burn it on the altar, and afterward, he shall make the woman drink the water. 27 When he makes her drink the water, if she has defiled herself and been unfaithful to her husband, the water that brings a curse will enter her, causing her abdomen to swell and her thigh to shrink. The woman will then become a curse among her people. 28 But if the woman has not defiled herself and is clean, she will be cleared of guilt and will be able to conceive children. 29 This is the law regarding jealousy when a woman goes astray and defiles herself while under her husband's authority. 30 Or when a man is overcome by a spirit of jealousy and suspects his wife, he is to bring her before the Lord, and the priest shall carry out all of this law on her.
