“And the priest shall charge her by an oath, and say unto the woman, If no man have lain with thee, and if thou hast not gone aside to uncleanness with another instead of thy husband, be thou free from this bitter water that causeth the curse: with another: or, being in the power of thy husband: Heb. under thy husband”
Numbers 5:19 (KJV)
Commentary on Numbers 5:19
The oath before the Lord establishes the sacred nature of this trial. The priest pronounces a conditional curse—if innocent, no harm; if guilty, the curse will take effect. This demonstrates the principle that God's name must not be taken in vain; oaths before the Lord invoke His direct involvement. The bitter water serves as a visible, testable agent of divine judgment. The Reformed doctrine of God's active providence is evident—He governs even the physical effects of the water according to guilt or innocence.
