21 And the priest bound the woman by an oath in these curses, and the priest said to the woman, Jehovah will give thee for a curse, and for an oath in the midst of thy people, in Jehovah's giving thy thigh to fall, and thy belly to go forth. 22 And the waters causing the curse shall come into thy bowels, and cause thy belly to come forth, and thy thigh to fall. And the woman said, Amen, amen. 23 And the priest wrote these curses in a book, and he wiped off into the water of contradiction. 24 And he caused the woman to drink the water of contradiction causing the curse; and the waters causing the curse shall come into her for contradiction. 25 And the priest took out of the hand of the woman the gift of jealousy, and lifted up the gift before Jehovah and brought it to the altar. 26 And the priest took with the hand from the gift its remembrance, and burnt upon the altar, and afterward he shall cause the woman to drink the water. 27 And he caused her to drink the water, and it was if she was defiled and she shall cover the transgression against her husband, and the waters causing the curse came into her for contradiction, and her belly came forth, and her thigh fell, and the woman was for a curse in the midst of her people. 28 And if the woman was not defiled and she was clean, and she was unpunished, and conceived seed. 29 This the law of jealousies, when a woman shall turn aside instead of her husband, and she was defiled; 30 Or a man, when the spirit of jealousy shall pass over upon him, and he was jealous of his wife, and he made the woman stand before Jehovah, and the priest did to her all this law. 31 And the man was clean from iniquity, and this woman shall bear her iniquity.
