Numbers 5:29

The Adultery Test

28But if the woman has not defiled herself and is clean, she will be unaffected and able to conceive children.29This is the law of jealousy when a wife goes astray and defiles herself while under her husband’s authority,30or when a feeling of jealousy comes over a husband and he suspects his wife. He is to have the woman stand before the LORD, and the priest is to apply to her this entire law.
