    12 Say to the children of Israel, If any man's wife does wrong, sinning against 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 doubt comes into her husband's heart, and he has doubts of his wife, with good cause; or if he has doubts of her without cause:

    15 Then let him take her to the priest, offering for her the tenth part of an ephah of barley meal, without oil or perfume; for it is a meal offering of a bitter spirit, a meal offering keeping wrongdoing in mind.

    16 And the priest will make her come near and put her before the Lord;

    17 And the priest will take holy water in a pot and put in it dust from the floor of the House;

    18 And he will make the woman come before the Lord with her hair loose, and will put the meal offering, the offering of a bitter spirit, in her hands; and the priest will take in his hand the bitter water causing the curse;

    19 And he will make her take an oath, and say to her, If no man has been your lover and you have not been with another in place of your husband, you are free from this bitter water causing the curse;

    20 But if you have been with another in place of your husband and have made yourself unclean with a lover:

    21 Then the priest will put the oath of the curse on the woman, and say to her, May the Lord make you a curse and an oath among your people, sending on you wasting of the legs and disease of the stomach;

    22 And this water of the curse will go into your body, causing disease of your stomach and wasting of your legs: and the woman will say, So be it.

    23 And the priest will put these curses in a book, washing out the writing with the bitter water;

    24 And he will give to the woman the bitter water for drink; and the bitter water causing the curse will go into her.

    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 And he will take some of it in his hand, burning it on the altar as a sign, and then he will give the woman the bitter water.
