There's a phrase (תחת אישׁך) throughout the Numbers 5 Sotah trial that the KJV translates "instead of thy husband" and ESV translates "under your husband's authority". It literally means "under your husband", and the ESV probably has the correct intent.
If no man has lain with you, and if you have not turned aside to uncleanness while you were under your husband's authority, be free from this water of bitterness that brings the curse.
Numbers 5:19 ESV
This is within the context of the trial of a woman suspected of adultery. "Turned aside to uncleanness" doesn't refer to ritual uncleanness such as would be conferred by a corpse or bodily discharge, but rather to something "off limits" or forbidden. I.e. sexual immorality.
"Cursed be he that taketh reward to slay an innocent person. And all the people shall say, Amen."
De 27
I look forward to everyones encouraging posts each morning! I especially need them today. Please know that your thoughts and insights on Yahs word matter! I may not always agree with you, but I still consider what you have said and check it against Yahs word. Sometimes Truth is not what we want to hear, but what we NEED to hear. There is a lot of Truth posted on this site. Im not disapointed in it. Keep up the daily meditations on Yahs word! Even if it does not seem profound to you, your given wisdom may just be what someone else needs to hear that day.
Good morning! It is a beautiful day, and as I look out my window, I am again in awe at my Creator's joy in making things look so pretty. My hope is that in word and deed, my actions will represent His beauty in the world today. https://archive.aweber.com/awlist6425868/HnxDU
Lynzie and I meet again for a back porch chat! Join us to discuss Antarctica, messy politics, & more!
Lest I be full, and deny thee, and say, Who is the LORD? Or lest I be poor, and steal, And take the name of my God in vain.
Proverbs 30:9 KJV
The most dangerous deception is when we deceive ourselves. Job 15:31, “Let him not deceive himself with trust in emptiness, for emptiness will be his reward” Emptiness is the same word often translated as vanity. Too often pride will separate us from our Creator.
