Numbers 5:17-19

New Life Version

¹⁷ The religious leader will take holy water in a clay pot. He will take some of the dust on the floor of the meeting tent and put it into the water. ¹⁸ Then the religious leader will have the woman stand before the Lord and let the hair of the woman’s head hang loose. He will put the grain gift of remembering into her hands. It is the grain gift of jealousy. In the religious leader’s hand will be the bitter water that can bring a curse to the woman. ¹⁹ Then the religious leader will have her make a promise. He will say to the woman, “If no man has lain with you and if you have not turned away into sin, while under the power of your husband, this bitter water that brings punishment will not hurt you.
