Numbers 5:23-31

[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.
