5And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying, 6“Speak to the children of Israel, When a man or woman shall commit any sin that men commit, to do a trespass against the LORD, and that person is guilty; 7Then they shall confess their sin which they have done: and he shall recompense their trespass with its principal, and add to it the fifth part of it, and give it to him against whom he has trespassed. 8But if the man has no kinsman to recompense the trespass unto, let the trespass be recompensed unto the LORD, even to the priest; beside the ram of the atonement, by which an atonement shall be made for him. 9And every offering of all the holy things of the children of Israel, which they bring unto the priest, shall be his. 10And every man's sacred things shall be his: but whatever anyone gives to the priest, it shall be his.”

11And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying, 12“Speak to the children of Israel, and say to them, “If any man's wife goes aside, and commits a trespass against him, 13And a man lies with her carnally, and it is hidden from her husband, and is kept secret, and she is defiled, and there is no witness against her, neither she be taken with the manner; 14And the spirit of jealousy comes upon him, and he is jealous of his wife, and she is defiled: or if the spirit of jealousy comes upon him, and he is jealous of his wife, and she is not defiled: 15Then shall the man bring his wife to the priest, and he shall bring an offering for her, the tenth part of an ephah of barley meal; he shall pour no oil on it, nor put frankincense on it; for it is an offering of jealousy, an offering of memorial, bringing iniquity to remembrance. 16And the priest shall bring her near, and set her before the LORD: 17And the priest shall take holy water in an earthen vessel; and the priest shall take of the dust that is on the floor of the tabernacle, and put it into the water: 18And 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 causes the curse: 19And the priest shall charge her by an oath, and say to the woman, “If no man has lain with you, and if you have not gone aside to uncleanness with another instead of your husband, be you free from this bitter water that causes the curse: 20But if you have gone aside to another instead of your husband, and if you are defiled, and some man has lain with you beside your husband”: 21Then the priest shall charge the woman with an oath of cursing, and the priest shall say to the woman, “The LORD make you a curse and an oath among your people, when the LORD makes your thigh to rot, and your abdomen to swell; 22And this water that causes the curse shall go into your bowels, to make your abdomen to swell, and your thigh to rot:” And the woman shall say, “Amen, amen.” 23And the priest shall write these curses in a book, and he shall blot them out with the bitter water: 24And he shall cause the woman to drink the bitter water that causes the curse: and the water that causes the curse shall enter into her, and become bitter. 25Then 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: 26And the priest shall take a handful of the offering, even its memorial, and burn it upon the altar, and afterward shall cause the woman to drink the water. 27And when he has made her drink the water, then this shall be the result: if she is defiled, and has trespassed against her husband, the water that causes the curse shall enter her, and become bitter, and her abdomen shall swell, and her thigh shall rot: and the woman shall be a curse among her people. 28But if the woman is not defiled, but is clean; then she shall be free, and shall conceive seed.

29This is the law of jealousies, when a wife goes aside to another instead of her husband, and is defiled; 30Or when the spirit of jealousy comes upon him, 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. 31Then shall the man be guiltless from iniquity, and this woman shall bear her iniquity.”
