Numbers 5 ; verse 16- 22
16 “‘The priest shall bring her and have her stand before the Lord. 17 Then he shall take some holy water in a clay jar and put some dust from the tabernacle floor into the water. 18 After the priest has had the woman stand before the Lord, he shall loosen her hair and place in her hands the reminder-offering, the grain offering for jealousy, while he himself holds the bitter water that brings a curse. 19 Then the priest shall put the woman under oath and say to her, “If no other man has had sexual relations with you and you have not gone astray and become impure while married to your husband, may this bitter water that brings a curse not harm you. 20 But if you have gone astray while married to your husband and you have made yourself impure by having sexual relations with a man other than your husband”— 21 here the priest is to put the woman under this curse—“may the Lord cause you to become a curse among your people when he makes your womb miscarry and your abdomen swell. 22 May this water that brings a curse enter your body so that your abdomen swells or your womb miscarries.”
“‘Then the woman is to say, “Amen. So be it.”
(16)تب کاہِن اُس عَورت کو نزدِیک لا کر خُداوند کے حضُور کھڑی کرے۔
(17)اور کاہِن مِٹّی کے ایک باسن میں مُقدّس پانی لے اور مسکن کے فرش کی گرد لے کر اُس پانی میں ڈالے۔
(18)پِھر کاہِن اُس عَورت کو خُداوند کے حضُور کھڑی کر کے اُس کے سر کے بال کُھلوا دے اور یادگاری کی نذر کی قُربانی کو جو غَیرت کی نذر کی قُربانی ہے اُس کے ہاتھوں پر دھرے اور کاہِن اپنے ہاتھ میں اُس کڑوے پانی کو لے جو لَعنت کو لاتا ہے۔
(19)پِھر کاہِن اُس عَورت کو قَسم کِھلا کر کہے کہ اگر کِسی شخص نے تُجھ سے صُحبت نہیں کی ہے اور تُو اپنے شَوہر کی ہوتی ہُوئی ناپاکی کی طرف مائِل نہیں ہُوئی تو تُو اِس کڑوے پانی کی تاثیر سے جو لَعنت لاتا ہے بچی رہ۔
(20)لیکن اگر تُو اپنے شَوہر کی ہوتی ہُوئی گُمراہ ہو کر ناپاک ہو گئی ہے اور تیرے شَوہر کے سِوا کِسی دُوسرے شخص نے تُجھ سے صُحبت کی ہے۔
(21)تو کاہِن اُس عَورت کو لَعنت کی قَسم کِھلا کر اُس سے کہے کہ خُداوند تُجھے تیری قَوم میں تیری ران کو سڑا کر اور تیرے پیٹ کو پُھلا کر لَعنت اور پھٹکار کا نِشانہ بنائے۔
(22)اور یہ پانی جو لَعنت لاتا ہے تیری انتڑیوں میں جا کر تیرے پیٹ کو پُھلائے اور تیری ران کوسڑائے۔ اور عَورت آمِین آمِین کہے۔
My point of view about above verses
God told Moses tell Israelite that if a married women commit adultery and became impure and her husband has developed a feeling of jealousy - Then he has to bring her before priest with grain offering without oil and frankincense which makes the offering sweet -
This offering is not sweet rather bitter and its for remembrance of wrong doing committed by wife or if she did not do anything wrong and husband feelings are not good towards her - in both cases offering has to be made to let them remember that they have fellowship with God which demands purity in relationship of husband and wife- God gave a mechanism that how to approve or disapprove the feeling of jealously - it has to be addressed for a healthy relationship for future
Let God give us wisdom to understand his word and apply it in our lives
