Verse 20 is found in chapter 5 of Numbers. The test for jealousy regulates a marital situation in which there is suspicion of unfaithfulness without sufficient evidence.

Wo du aber deinem Mann untreu geworden bist, daß du unrein wurdest, und hat jemand bei dir gelegen außer deinem Mann,
Mas si te has descarriado de tu marido, y te has amancillado, y alguno hubiere tenido coito contigo, fuera de tu marido:
Mais si, étant sous la puissance de ton mari, tu t'en es détournée et que tu te sois souillée, et si un autre homme que ton mari a couché avec toi, -
Ma se tu ti sei sviata, ricevendo un altro in luogo del tuo marito, e ti sei contaminata, e altri che il tuo marito è giaciuto teco carnalmente;
Mas, se te apartaste de teu marido, e te contaminaste, e algum homem, fora de teu marido, se deitou contigo,
但你背著丈夫,玷污自己,跟丈夫以外的人同寢。』
