9. Also every special contribution which the Israelites offer to the Lord belongs to the priest to whom they present it.
10. Each priest shall keep the offerings presented to him.
11. The Lord commanded Moses
12-14. to give the Israelites the following instructions. It may happen that a man becomes suspicious that his wife is unfaithful to him and has defiled herself by having intercourse with another man. But the husband may not be certain, for his wife may have kept it secret — there was no witness, and she was not caught in the act. Or it may happen that a husband becomes suspicious of his wife, even though she has not been unfaithful.
15. In either case the man shall take his wife to the priest. He shall also take the required offering of one kilogramme of barley flour, but he shall not pour any olive oil on it or put any incense on it, because it is an offering from a suspicious husband, made to bring the truth to light.
16. The priest shall bring the woman forward and make her stand in front of the altar.
