”Any party whose wife has… had carnal relations with her unbeknown to her husband…that party shall bring his wife to the priest… And in the priest’s hands shall be the water of bitterness that induces the spell…. Once he has made her drink the water—if she has defiled herself by breaking faith with her husband, the spell-inducing water shall enter into her to bring on bitterness, so that her belly shall distend and her thigh shall sag; and the wife shall become a curse among her people.”
