 # General Information:
 
-In these verses the order of events is somewhat confusing, it is written this way to emphasize how the water brings the curse. It seems that the woman drinks the water, the priest burns the offering, and then the woman drinks the water again. She only drinks the water once, as is make clear in the UDB translation.
-
-# The priest must make the woman drink ... the curse will enter her and become bitter
-
-It may be helpful to reorder the information in these verses by placing verse 24, that give information about the woman drinking the water, after verse 26. The UDB translates these verses in a similar way.
+Verse 24 explains in a general way what the priest must do and what is expected to happen when the woman drinks the water. Verse 25 and 26 explains in detail how the priest is to do this work. The priest gives the water to the woman and she drinks it only once.

-# General Information:
+# these men who had brought out a bad report about the land were struck down, and they died of a plague before Yahweh
 
-The information in 14:36-37 has been rearranged in the UDB so its meaning can be more easily understood. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/translate-versebridge]])
-
-# died of a plague before Yahweh
-
-"died by the plague in his presence." Because it says that they died in his presence, it is implied that he caused them to die. AT: "died in Yahweh's presence by the plague that he caused" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-explicit]])
+The phrase "plague before Yahweh" shows that Yahweh struck them down. This can be stated in active form. AT: "Yahweh struck down these men who had brought out a bad report about the land, and they died" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-explicit]])
