He shall take a handful of the flour as a memorial and burn it on the altar. He shall then make the woman drink the water.

The priest shall then take the offering for jealousy from the woman’s hands, hold it up before the Lord with a gesture of offering, and carry it up to the altar.

He must make the woman drink this water of bitterness and of cursing, and this water of cursing shall go into her and be bitter inside her.

Then the priest shall write these curses and wash them off in the bowl of bitter water.
