And let the woman say, Amen amen. 23 And let the priest write these curses in a booke, and shall blot them out with the bitter waters: 24 And geue the woman those bitter and cursed waters to drinke, yt those cursed and bitter waters may enter into her. 25 And then the priest shall take the gelousie offeryng out of the womans hande, and waue it before the Lorde, and bryng it vnto the aulter. 26 And the priest shall take an handfull of the offeryng for a memoriall, & burne it vpon the aulter, and then make the woman drynke the waters: 27 And when he hath made the woman drynke the waters, if she be defiled and haue trespassed agaynst her husbande, then shall the cursed and bytter waters go into her, and her belly shal swell, and her thigh shall rotte: and the woman shalbe a curse among her people. 28 And yf the woman be not defiled, but is cleane, she shall haue no harme, but shall conceaue and beare. 29 This is the lawe of gelousie, when a wyfe goeth aside from her husbande, and is defiled: 30 Or when the spirit of gelousie cometh vpon a man, and he beyng gelous ouer his wyfe, doth bryng her before ye Lord: And the priest shall do to her accordyng vnto all this lawe,
