And let
the priest bring her and set her before the LORD, and let him take
holy water in an earthen vessel and of the dust that is in the
floor of the habitation, and put it into the water. And the priest
shall set the wife before the LORD and uncover her head, and put
the memorial of the offering in her hands which is the jealousy
offering, and the priest shall have bitter and cursing water in
his hand, and he shall conjure her and shall say unto her: If no
man have lien with thee neither hast gone aside, and defiled
thyself behind thy husband, then have thou no harm of this bitter
cursing water. But and if thou hast gone aside behind thine
husband and art defiled and some other man hath lien with thee
beside thine husband (and let the priest conjure her with the
conjuration of the curse and say unto her) the LORD make thee a
curse and a conjuration among thy people: so that the LORD make
thy thigh rot, and thy belly swell and this bitter cursing water
go into the bowels of thee, that thy belly swell and thy thigh
rot, and the wife shall say: Amen Amen. And the priest shall write
this curse in a bill and wash it out in the bitter water. And when
the cursing water is in her that it is bitter, then let the priest
take the jealousy offering out of the wife's hand, and wave it
before the LORD, and bring it unto the altar: and he shall take an
handful of the memorial offering and burn it upon the altar, and
then make her drink the water and when he hath made her drink the
water.
