Numbers 5:29-31
1599 Geneva Bible
29 This is the law of jealousy, when a wife turneth from her husband and is defiled,
30 Or, when a man is moved with a jealous mind, being jealous over his wife, then shall he bring the woman before the Lord, and the Priest shall do to her according to all this law,
31 And the man shall be [a]free from sin, but this woman shall bear her iniquity.

Numbers 5:29-31
New International Version
29 “‘This, then, is the law of jealousy when a woman goes astray(A) and makes herself impure while married to her husband, 30 or when feelings of jealousy(B) come over a man because he suspects his wife. The priest is to have her stand before the Lord and is to apply this entire law to her. 31 The husband will be innocent of any wrongdoing, but the woman will bear the consequences(C) of her sin.’”
