Rules Concerning An Unfaithful Wife

26 And the priest took with the hand from the gift its remembrance, and burnt upon the altar, and afterward he shall cause the woman to drink the water. 27 And he caused her to drink the water, and it was if she was defiled and she shall cover the transgression against her husband, and the waters causing the curse came into her for contradiction, and her belly came forth, and her thigh fell, and the woman was for a curse in the midst of her people. 28 And if the woman was not defiled and she was clean, and she was unpunished, and conceived seed.
