24. Then he will have the woman drink the bitter water that can bring the curse. This water will go into her ⌊and⌋ become bitter.

25. The priest will take the grain offering she was holding, present it to the Lord, and bring it to the altar.

26. The priest will take a handful of the grain offering as a memorial portion and burn it on the altar. Then he will have the woman drink the water.

27. If she has become unclean by being unfaithful to her husband, the water that can bring the curse will go into her and become bitter. Her stomach will swell, her uterus will drop, and she will become cursed among her people.

28. But if the woman is not unclean and is pure, she is not guilty and will be able to have children.
