New Testament

Numbers 5:22-28 Common English Bible (CEB)

22. And may the water that brings these curses enter your stomach and make your womb discharge and make you miscarry."And the woman will say, "I agree, I agree."

23. The priest will write these curses in the scroll and wipe them off into the water of bitterness.

24. Then he will make the woman drink the water of bitterness that brings the curse. And the water that brings the curse will enter her, causing bitterness.

25. The priest will take the grain offering for jealousy from the woman’s hands, elevate the grain offering before the Lord, and bring it to the altar.

26. The priest will take a handful of the grain offering as a token part of it and turn it into smoke on the altar. And afterward he will make the woman drink the water.

27. When he has made her drink the water, if she has defiled herself and has broken faith with her husband, then the water that brings the curse will enter her, causing bitterness, and her womb will discharge and she will miscarry. The woman will be a curse among her people.

28. But if the woman hasn’t defiled herself and she is pure, then she will be immune and able to conceive.
