In context
26 The priest shall take a handful of the meal offering, as its memorial portion, and burn it on the altar, and afterward shall make the woman drink the water.
27 When he has made her drink the water, then it shall happen, if she is defiled and has committed a trespass against her husband, that the water that causes the curse will enter into her and become bitter, and her body will swell, and her thigh will fall away; and the woman will be a curse among her people.
28 If the woman isn’t defiled, but is clean; then she shall be free, and shall conceive offspring.
29 “‘This is the law of jealousy, when a wife, being under her husband, goes astray, and is defiled,
30 or when the spirit of jealousy comes on a man, and he is jealous of his wife; then he shall set the woman before the LORD, and the priest shall execute on her all this law.
31 The man shall be free from iniquity, and that woman shall bear her iniquity.’”
