Numbers 5:16 Meaning and Commentary

Numbers 5:16

And the priest shall bring her near
Or "offer it", as the Vulgate Latin version, that is, the offering of jealousy:

and set her before the Lord;
or "it", the offering; for which the Tigurine version is more express,

``let the priest offer that sacrifice, and set that before the Lord,''

for the setting of the woman before the Lord is spoken of in ( Numbers 5:18 ) .

Numbers 5:16 In-Context

15 adducet eam ad sacerdotem et offeret oblationem pro illa decimam partem sati farinae hordiaciae non fundet super eam oleum nec inponet tus quia sacrificium zelotypiae est et oblatio investigans adulterium

16 offeret igitur eam sacerdos et statuet coram Domino

17 adsumetque aquam sanctam in vase fictili et pauxillum terrae de pavimento tabernaculi mittet in eam

18 cumque steterit mulier in conspectu Domini discoperiet caput eius et ponet super manus illius sacrificium recordationis et oblationem zelotypiae ipse autem tenebit aquas amarissimas in quibus cum execratione maledicta congessit
