Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
אֶת־הָאָלֹ֥ת הָאֵ֛לֶּה
DOM the,curses the=these
The implication is that these curses refers to the curse oath that the woman swore in 5:21. You could include this information if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: [the curses the woman spoke]
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / genericnoun
בַּסֵּ֑פֶר
on,scroll
The priest is not referring to a specific book. He means a scroll or other writing material in general. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could use an expression that would be more natural in your language. Alternate translation: [in a book]
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
וּמָחָ֖ה אֶל־מֵ֥י הַמָּרִֽים
and,he_will_wipe_[them]_off to/towards water_of of_(the),bitter_[things]
The implication is that the priest will write the curses on a book or scroll and then wash off the ink into the water of bitterness so that the water contains the written curses. You could include this information if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: [and he shall use the water of bitterness to wash the words of the curses off the book into the water]
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / possession
אֶל־מֵ֥י הַמָּרִֽים
to/towards water_of of_(the),bitter_[things]
See how you translated the similar phrase in 5:18.

OET (OET-RV) Then the priest must write those curses on a scroll, then wipe the ink into the water of bitterness.
Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.
