The original text of Numbers 5:11-31 would have some literary structure. However, the existing text seems to have half broken structure as below:
A 5:11-14 Explanation about the situation
B 5:15-16 Preparation for the ritual (Offering)
C 5:17-18 Preparation for the ritual (Water)
D 5:19-22 Words of Curse
C' 5:23-24 Execution of the ritual (Water)
B' 5:25-26 Execution of the ritual (Offering)
D' 5:27-28 Result of Curse
A' 5:29-31 Explanation about the situation
I guess later editors had broken the structure of the text. They might not unfortunately understand the structure of the Bible.
This structure is firstly proposed by Mr. Yuriy Lishchinski.
