17 He shall pour some holy water into a clay bowl and take some of the earth that is on the floor of the Tent of the Lord's presence and put it in the water to make it bitter.
18 Then he shall loosen the woman's hair and put the offering of flour in her hands. In his hands the priest shall hold the bowl containing the bitter water that brings a curse.
19 Then the priest shall make the woman agree to this oath spoken by the priest: “If you have not committed adultery, you will not be harmed by the curse that this water brings.
20 But if you have committed adultery,
21 may the Lord make your name a curse among your people. May he cause your genital organs to shrink and your stomach to swell up.
22 May this water enter your stomach and cause it to swell up and your genital organs to shrink.”The woman shall respond, “I agree; may the Lord do so.”
23 Then the priest shall write this curse down and wash the writing off into the bowl of bitter water.
