¹⁷ He will take some holy water in a clay jar, and he will put some ·dirt [dust] from the floor of the ·Holy Tent [Tabernacle] into the water. ¹⁸ The priest will make the woman stand before the Lord, and he will loosen her hair [^Cperhaps signifying ritual uncleanness; Lev. 13:45]. He will hand her the grain [^Ltribute; gift] offering [Lev. 2:1] of remembrance, the ·grain [^Ltribute; gift] offering [Lev. 2:1] for jealousy; he will hold the bitter water that brings a curse. ¹⁹ The priest will make her take an oath and ask her, “Has another man had sexual relations with you? Have you been unfaithful to your husband? If you haven’t, this bitter water that brings a curse won’t hurt you.
