Numbers 5:13-15
New King James Version
13 and a man (A)lies with her carnally, and it is hidden from the eyes of her husband, and it is concealed that she has defiled herself, and there was no witness against her, nor was she (B)caught— 14 if the spirit of jealousy comes upon him and he becomes (C)jealous of his wife, who has defiled herself; or if the spirit of jealousy comes upon him and he becomes jealous of his wife, although she has not defiled herself— 15 then the man shall bring his wife to the priest. He shall (D)bring the offering required for her, one-tenth of an ephah of barley meal; he shall pour no oil on it and put no frankincense on it, because it is a grain offering of jealousy, an offering for remembering, for (E)bringing iniquity to remembrance.

Numbers 5:13-15
New International Version
13 so that another man has sexual relations with her,(A) and this is hidden from her husband and her impurity is undetected (since there is no witness against her and she has not been caught in the act), 14 and if feelings of jealousy(B) come over her husband and he suspects his wife and she is impure—or if he is jealous and suspects her even though she is not impure— 15 then he is to take his wife to the priest. He must also take an offering of a tenth of an ephah[a](C) of barley flour(D) on her behalf. He must not pour olive oil on it or put incense on it, because it is a grain offering for jealousy,(E) a reminder-offering(F) to draw attention to wrongdoing.
