New Testament

Numbers 5:25-31 International Children’s Bible (ICB)

25. Then the priest will take the grain offering for jealousy from her. He will present it before the Lord. Then he will bring it to the altar.

26. Then the priest will take a handful of the grain. This is a memorial offering. He will burn it on the altar. After that he will make the woman drink the water.

27. He will make her drink it to see if she is not pure. He will know if she has sinned against her husband. When it goes into her, her stomach may get big. And she may not be able to have another baby. Her people will turn against her.

28. But if the woman has not sinned, she is pure. She is not guilty. She will be able to have more babies.

29. “‘So this is the teaching about jealousy. This is what to do when a woman is unfaithful to her husband.

30. It also should be done if the man gets jealous because he suspects his wife. The priest will have her stand before the Lord. Then he will do all these things. This is the teaching.

31. If the husband is right, the woman will suffer.’”
