“And the spirit of jealousy come upon him, and he be jealous of his wife, and she be defiled: or if the spirit of jealousy come upon him, and he be jealous of his wife, and she be not defiled:”
Numbers 5:14 (KJV)
Commentary on Numbers 5:14
The spirit of jealousy introduces the subjective element—the husband suspects, whether rightly or wrongly. The law addresses both scenarios: when the wife is actually defiled and when she is innocent but suspected. This demonstrates divine wisdom in legislation that protects both the sanctity of marriage and the dignity of the falsely accused. The procedure that follows will vindicate the innocent and expose the guilty, showing that God's justice is perfect even when human judgment fails.
