When he comes to write the scroll, from which place does he write? From: "if no man has lain" etc. (Numbers 5:19) and (Numbers 5:20) "if you have strayed while under [the authority of] your husband" (Numbers 5:20). But he does not write: "And the priest should administer an oath to the woman" (Numbers 5:21). And he writes: (Numbers 5:21-22) "May God give you as a curse and as an oath," "that these curse-causing waters will come into your intestines to distend your belly and to collapse your thighs" (Numbers 5:21-22). But he does not write: "and the woman shall say 'Amen Amen'". R. Yosi said: he does not interrupt [the text]. R. Yehuda said: he only writes, "May God give you as a curse and as an oath" etc. "that these curse-causing waters will come into your intestines" etc. And he does not write, "and the woman shall say 'Amen Amen'".
