Numbers 5:26-28
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
26 and the priest shall take a handful of the grain offering as its memorial portion and turn it into smoke on the altar and afterward shall make the woman drink the water. 27 When he has made her drink the water, then, if she has defiled herself and has been unfaithful to her husband, the water that brings the curse shall enter into her and cause bitter pain, and her womb shall discharge, her uterus drop,[a] and the woman shall become an execration among her people.(A) 28 But if the woman has not defiled herself and is clean, then she shall be immune and be able to conceive children.
