Numbers 5:23-25
New English Translation

23 “‘Then the priest will write these curses on a scroll and then scrape them off into the bitter water.[a] 24 He will make the woman drink the bitter water that brings a curse, and the water that brings a curse will enter her to produce bitterness. 25 The priest will take the grain offering of suspicion from the woman’s hand, wave the grain offering before the Lord, and bring it to the altar.
