Speak to the Israelites and say: 'A man's wife may have been unfaithful to him and may have had sexual intercourse with another man without her husband's knowledge.

A husband may have a fit of jealousy and suspect his wife, whether she was actually unfaithful or not. read more.

He must not pour olive oil on the flour or put frankincense on it, since it is a grain offering brought because of the husband's jealousy.

The priest will then take holy water in a piece of pottery and put some dust from the floor of the tent into the water. The priest will bring the woman into Jehovah's presence and loosen her hair.

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. 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. However if the woman is not unclean and is pure, she is not guilty and will be able to have children. These are the instructions for how to deal with jealousy. They tell you what to do when a woman is unfaithful to her husband and becomes unclean. They also tell you what to do when a husband has a fit of jealousy and is suspicious of his wife. He will make his wife stand in Jehovah's presence. The priest will do everything these instructions tell him to do. The husband is not guilty of doing anything wrong. But the woman will suffer the consequences of her sin.
He must then take his wife to the priest along with eight cups of barley flour as an offering for her. He must not pour olive oil on the flour or put frankincense on it, since it is a grain offering brought because of the husband's jealousy. It is an offering used for a confession, to remind someone of a sin that was committed. The priest will have the woman come forward and stand in Jehovah's presence. The priest will then take holy water in a piece of pottery and put some dust from the floor of the tent into the water. The priest will bring the woman into Jehovah's presence and loosen her hair. In her hands he will put the offering used for a confession, that is, the grain offering brought because of the husband's jealousy. The priest will hold the bitter water that can bring a curse in his hands. The priest will say to her: 'If no other man has had sexual intercourse with you and you have not been unfaithful to your husband, you are not guilty. This bitter water that can bring a curse will not harm you. If you have indeed been unfaithful and have had sexual intercourse with another man, Jehovah will make you an example for your people to see what happens when the curse of this oath comes true: Jehovah will make your uterus drop and your stomach swell. Then the priest will administer the oath and the curse by saying: May this water that can bring a curse go into your body and make your stomach swell and your uterus drop!' Then the woman will say: Amen! Amen! The priest will write these curses on a scroll and wash them off into the bitter water. He will have the woman drink the bitter water that can bring the curse. This water will go into her and become bitter. The priest will take the grain offering she was holding. He will present it to Jehovah, and bring it to the altar. 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. 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. However if the woman is not unclean and is pure, she is not guilty and will be able to have children.
