Numbers 5:14-31

[14] And the spirit  of jealousy  come  upon him, and he be jealous  of his wife,  and she be defiled:  or if the spirit  of jealousy  come  upon him, and he be jealous  of his wife,  and she be not defiled:  [15] Then shall the man  bring  his wife  unto the priest,  and he shall bring  her offering  for her, the tenth  part of an ephah  of barley  meal;  he shall pour  no oil  upon it, nor put  frankincense  thereon; for it is an offering  of jealousy,  an offering  of memorial,  iniquity  to remembrance.  [16] And the priest  shall bring her near,  and set  her before  [17] And the priest  shall take  holy  water  in an earthen  vessel;  and of the dust  that is in the floor  of the tabernacle  the priest  shall take,  and put  it into the water:  [18] And the priest  shall set  the woman  before  the LORD,  and uncover  the woman's  head,  and put  the offering  of memorial  in her hands,  which is the jealousy  offering:  and the priest  shall have in his hand  the bitter  water  that causeth the curse:  [19] And the priest  shall charge her by an oath,  and say  unto the woman,  If no man  have lain  with thee, and if thou hast not gone aside  to uncleanness  with another instead of thy husband,  be thou free  from this bitter  water  that causeth the curse:  [20] But if thou hast gone aside  to another instead of thy husband,  and if thou be defiled,  and some man  have  lain  with thee beside  thine husband:  [21] Then the priest  shall charge  the woman  with an oath  of cursing,  and the priest  shall say  unto the woman,  The LORD  make  thee a curse  and an oath  among  thy people,  when the LORD  doth make  thy thigh  to rot,  and thy belly  [22] And this water  that causeth the curse  shall go  into thy bowels,  to make thy belly  to swell,  and thy thigh  to rot:  And the woman  shall say,  Amen,  [23] And the priest  shall write  these curses  in a book,  and he shall blot  them out with the bitter  water:  [24] And he shall cause the woman  to drink  the bitter  water  that causeth the curse:  and the water  that causeth the curse  shall enter  into her, and become bitter.  [25] Then the priest  shall take  the jealousy  offering  out of the woman's  hand,  and shall wave  the offering  before  the LORD,  and offer  it upon the altar:  [26] And the priest  shall take an handful  of the offering,  even the memorial  thereof, and burn  it upon the altar,  and afterward  shall cause the woman  to drink  the water.  [27] And when he hath made her to drink  the water,  then it shall come to pass, that, if she be defiled,  and have done  trespass  against her husband,  that the water  that causeth the curse  shall enter  into her, and become bitter,  and her belly  shall swell,  and her thigh  shall rot:  and the woman  shall be a curse  among  her people.  [28] And if the woman  be not defiled,  but be clean;  then she shall be free,  and shall conceive  seed.  [29] This is the law  of jealousies,  when a wife  goeth aside  to another instead of her husband,  and is defiled;  [30] Or when the spirit  of jealousy  cometh  upon him,  and he be jealous  over his wife,  and shall set  the woman  before  the LORD,  and the priest  shall execute  upon her all this law.  [31] Then shall the man  be guiltless  from iniquity,  and this  woman  shall bear  her iniquity.
