NUMBERS 4:1-5:31
MARK 12:18-37
PSALM 48:1-14
PROVERBS 10:26
Question of the day: With all that stuff in it, wouldn't the water for the jealousy offering automatically make the wife sick, whether or not she were guilty?
The water itself wouldn't make the woman sick, although Jewish history tells us that many women, guilty or not, would not drink the water for fear that it would make them sick. As time passed, it also became a popular belief that the husband of the wayward wife would suffer the same fate if he had been unfaithful. Over time, this caused the demise of the jealousy offering.
