8. If the person has no close relative to whom the payment can be made, then the compensation payment will go to the Lord for the priest. This is in addition to the ram of reconciliation by which the guilty party himself is reconciled.
9. Any gift offering from all the sacred donations that the Israelites offer will be the property of the priest.
10. The sacred donations belong to each person alone; whatever anyone gives to the priest will be his.
11. The Lord spoke to Moses:
12. Speak to the Israelites and say to them: A man may suspect that his wife has had an affair and has broken faith with him,
13. that a man has had intercourse with her unknown to her husband and that she has defiled herself in secret—even though there are no witnesses and she isn’t caught.
14. If jealousy overcomes him and he is jealous of his wife who has defiled herself, or if jealousy overcomes him and he is jealous of his wife who hasn’t defiled herself,
15. then the man will bring his wife to the priest. He will bring the offering required for her, one-tenth of an ephah of barley flour. He will not pour oil on it, nor offer frankincense with it, because it is a grain offering for jealousy, a grain offering for recognition in order to recognize guilt.
16. The priest will bring her close and make her stand before the Lord
17. The priest will take holy water in a clay jar, and taking dust from the floor of the dwelling, the priest will place it in the water.
18. The priest will make the woman stand before the Lord, let the hair of the woman hang down, and place the grain offering for recognition, that is, the grain offering for jealousy, in her hands. The water of bitterness that brings the curse will be in the hands of the priest.
19. Then the priest will make her swear a solemn pledge, saying to the woman, "If no man has slept with you and if you haven’t had an affair, becoming defiled while married to your husband, then be immune from the water of bitterness that brings these curses.
20. But if you have had an affair while married to your husband, if you have defiled yourself, and a man other than your husband has had intercourse with you"—
21. then the priest must make the woman utter the curse and say to the woman, "May the Lord make you a curse and a harmful pledge among your people, when the Lord induces a miscarriage and your womb discharges.
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."
