24 And he shall make the woman drink the bitter water of testing; and the water of testing shall enter into her, to try her. 25 Then the priest shall take the jealousy meal offering out of the woman's hand, and shall wave the meal offering before the LORD, and offer it upon the altar; 26 And the priest shall take some of the meal offering as the memorial thereof, and burn it upon the altar, and afterward shall make the woman drink the water. 27 And when he has made her drink the water, if she has defiled herself and has committed iniquity against her husband, the water of testing shall enter into her, and shall try her, and if her belly shall swell and her thighs shall rot, then that woman shall be a curse among her people. 28 But if the woman has not defiled herself, but is pure, then she shall be absolved, and shall bear a male child. 29 This is the law of jealousy when a woman does wrong by having lain with another man besides her husband and defiles herself, 30 Or when the temper of jealousy comes upon a man and he is jealous over his wife and shall set the woman before the LORD, and the priest shall execute upon her all this law; 31 Then the man shall be blameless from guilt, but the woman shall bear her iniquity.
