Bible verse
The priest shall take from her hand the grain offering for jealousy, wave it before the LORD, and bring it to the altar.
Numbers 5:25 · BSB
The verses around it, from Numbers 5.
21 and the priest shall have the woman swear under the oath of the curse—‘then may the LORD make you an attested curse among your people by making your thigh shrivel and your belly swell.
22 May this water that brings a curse enter your stomach and cause your belly to swell and your thigh to shrivel.’ Then the woman is to say, ‘Amen, Amen.’
23 And the priest shall write these curses on a scroll and wash them off into the bitter water.
24 He is to have the woman drink the bitter water that brings a curse, and it will enter her and cause her bitter suffering.
25 The priest shall take from her hand the grain offering for jealousy, wave it before the LORD, and bring it to the altar.
26 Then the priest is to take a handful of the grain offering as a memorial portion and burn it on the altar; after that he is to have the woman drink the water.
27 When he has made her drink the water, if she has defiled herself and been unfaithful to her husband, then the water that brings a curse will enter her and cause bitter suffering; her belly will swell, her thigh will shrivel, and she will become accursed among her people.
28 But if the woman has not defiled herself and is clean, she will be unaffected and able to conceive children.
29 This is the law of jealousy when a wife goes astray and defiles herself while under her husband’s authority,
