Bible in Basic English
This is the law for testing a wife who goes with another in place of her husband and becomes unclean;
Or for a husband who, in a bitter spirit, has doubts in his heart about his wife; let him take her to the priest, who will put in force this law.
Then the man will be free from all wrong, and the woman's sin will be on her.
— Numbers 5:29-1964, Bible in Basic English

Then shall the man be guiltless from iniquity, and this woman shall bear her iniquity. ”
