Numbers 5:26 - Forerunner Commentary

Numbers 5:26

24 And he shall make the woman drink the bitter water that brings a curse, and the water that brings the curse shall enter her to become bitter.

25 ^aThen the priest shall take the grain offering of jealousy from the woman’s hand, shall ^bwave the offering before the Lord, and bring it to the altar;

26 and the priest shall take a handful of the offering, ^aas its memorial portion, burn it on the altar, and afterward make the woman drink the water.

27 When he has made her drink the water, then it shall be, if she has defiled herself and behaved unfaithfully toward her husband, that the water that brings a ^acurse will enter her and become bitter, and her belly will swell, her thigh will rot, and the woman ^bwill become a curse among her people.

28 But if the woman has not defiled herself, and is clean, then she shall be free and may conceive children.
