When he comes to write the scroll, from what point does he write? From: If no man has lain ... But if you have strayed while under [the authority of] your husband ... (vs. 19, 20). But he omits: And the Kohen shall adjure the woman ... (v. 21). He then writes: May HASHEM make you for a curse and an oath ... These curse-causing waters shall enter your innards to make the belly bloat and the thigh fall away (vs. 21, 22). But he omits: And the woman shall answer, “Amen, amen” (v. 22). R’ Yose says: He made no break. R’ Yehudah says: He writes only —- May HASHEM make you for a curse and an oath ... These curse-causing waters shall enter your innards ... (vs. 21, 22). But he omits: And the woman shall answer, “Amen, amen” (v. 22).

He cannot write [it] on a tablet or on a papyrus or on an unprocessed skin but only on a scroll, as it is stated: In a book (v. 23). And he may not write with gum, or vitriol, or with any substance that leaves a mark, only with ink, as it is stated: And he shall dissolve [it] (v. 23) —- a writing that can be dissolved.
