Numbers 5:22-27

²²May this water that brings a curse enter your stomach and cause your belly to swell and your thigh to shrivel.’ Then the woman is to say, ‘Amen, Amen.’

²³And the priest shall write these curses on a scroll and wash them off into the bitter water.

²⁴He is to have the woman drink the bitter water that brings a curse, and it will enter her and cause her bitter suffering.

²⁵The priest shall take from her hand the grain offering for jealousy, wave it before the LORD, and bring it to the altar.

²⁶Then the priest is to take a handful of the grain offering as a memorial portion and burn it on the altar; after that he is to have the woman drink the water.

²⁷When he has made her drink the water, if she has defiled herself and been unfaithful to her husband, then the water that brings a curse will enter her and cause bitter suffering; her belly will swell, her thigh will shrivel, and she will become accursed among her people.
