    16The priest is to bring her forward and have her stand before the Lord.

    19The 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.'

    20But 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—
