04:005:014 And the spirit of jealousy come upon him, and he be jealous of
his wife, and she be defiled: or if the spirit of jealousy
come upon him, and he be jealous of his wife, and she be not
defiled:
04:005:015 Then shall the man bring his wife unto the priest, and he
shall bring her offering for her, the tenth part of an ephah
of barley meal; he shall pour no oil upon it, nor put
frankincense thereon; for it is an offering of jealousy, an
offering of memorial, bringing iniquity to remembrance.
04:005:016 And the priest shall bring her near, and set her before the
LORD:
04:005:017 And the priest shall take holy water in an earthen vessel; and
of the dust that is in the floor of the tabernacle the priest
shall take, and put it into the water:
04:005:018 And 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 causeth the
curse:
04:005:019 And the priest shall charge her by an oath, and say unto the
woman, If no man have lain with thee, and if thou hast not
gone aside to uncleanness with another instead of thy husband,
be thou free from this bitter water that causeth the curse:
04:005:020 But if thou hast gone aside to another instead of thy husband,
and if thou be defiled, and some man have lain with thee
beside thine husband:
04:005:021 Then the priest shall charge the woman with an oath of
cursing, and the priest shall say unto the woman, The LORD
make thee a curse and an oath among thy people, when the LORD
doth make thy thigh to rot, and thy belly to swell;
04:005:022 And this water that causeth the curse shall go into thy
bowels, to make thy belly to swell, and thy thigh to rot: And
the woman shall say, Amen, amen.
04:005:023 And the priest shall write these curses in a book, and he
shall blot them out with the bitter water:
04:005:024 And he shall cause the woman to drink the bitter water that
causeth the curse: and the water that causeth the curse shall
enter into her, and become bitter.
04:005:025 Then 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:
04:005:026 And the priest shall take an handful of the offering, even the
memorial thereof, and burn it upon the altar, and afterward
shall cause the woman to drink the water.
