New Testament

Numbers 5:26-31 New Century Version (NCV)

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

27. to see if she is not pure and if she has sinned against her husband. When it goes into her, if her stomach gets big and she is not able to have another baby, her people will reject her.

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

29. “ ‘So this is the teaching about jealousy. This is what to do when a woman does wrong and is unfaithful while she is married 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, and he will do all these things, just as the teaching commands.

31. In this way the husband can be proven correct, and the woman will suffer if she has done wrong.’ ”
