Números 5:14 Meaning and Commentary

Numbers 5:14

And the spirit of jealousy come upon him
A thought rises up in his mind, a strong suspicion works in him, which he cannot resist and throw off, but it remains with him, and makes him very uneasy, that his wife has defiled his bed, as it follows:

and he be jealous of his wife, and she be defiled;
that his wife is defiled by a man; and which is the real case, as it afterwards appears, though at present he is not certain, only has a suspicion of it:

or if the spirit of jealousy come upon him, and he be jealous of his
wife, and she be not defiled;
it is mere jealousy and suspicion, without any foundation for it; and his wife proved a chaste and virtuous woman; yet be it which it would, he being jealous, the following law was to take place, and the following rules to be observed.

Números 5:14 In-Context

12 “Diga o seguinte aos israelitas: Se a mulher de alguém se desviar e lhe for infiel,

13 e outro homem deitar-se com ela, e isso estiver oculto de seu marido, e a impureza dela não for descoberta, por não haver testemunha contra ela nem ter ela sido pega no ato;

14 se o marido dela tiver ciúmes e suspeitar de sua mulher, esteja ela pura ou impura,

15 ele a levará ao sacerdote, com uma oferta de um jarro de farinha de cevada em favor dela. Não derramará azeite nem porá incenso sobre a farinha, porque é uma oferta de cereal pelo ciúme, para que se revele a verdade sobre o pecado.

16 “O sacerdote trará a mulher e a colocará perante o SENHOR.
