is hidden from the eyes of her  husband, and it
is concealed that she has defiled herself, and
there was no witness against her, nor was she
caught--

• 17 The Cohen shall take holy water in an earthen
  vessel, and take some of the dust that is on the
  floor of the tabernacle and put it into the
  water.

10
18 'Then the Cohen shall stand the woman before
YHVH, uncover the woman's head, and put the
offering for remembering in her hands, which is
the grain offering of jealousy. And the Cohen
shall have in his hand the BITTER WATER THAT
BRINGS A CURSE.
11
Numbers 519 19 And the Cohen shall put her
under oath, and say to the woman, "If no man  has
lain with you, and if you have not gone astray to
uncleanness while under your husband's authority,
be free from this bitter water that brings a
curse.
12
20"But if you have gone astray while under your
husband's authority, and if  you have defiled
yourself and some man other than your husband has
lain with you"-- 21 'then the Cohen shall put
the woman under the oath of the curse, and he
shall say to the woman--" The LORD make you a
curse and an oath among your people, when The
LORD make your thigh rot and your belly swell
13
WHAT DID MOSES DO TO THE PEOPLE?
14
Exodus 32 19 And it came to pass, as soon as he
came nigh unto the camp, that he saw the calf,
and the dancing and Moses' anger waxed hot, and
he cast the tables out of his hands, and brake
them beneath the mount. 20 And he took the
calf which they had made, and burnt it in the
fire, and ground it to powder, and strawed it
upon the water, and made the children of Israel
drink of it.
15
Deuteronomy 921 And I took your sin, the calf
which ye had made, and burnt it with fire, and
stamped it, and ground it very small, even until
it was as small as dust and I cast the dust
thereof into the brook that descended out of the
mount.
16
The Idol Worshipers DIED!!!!
17
First place in all the Torah which uses the word
Amen

• 22 "and may this water that causes the curse go
  into your stomach, and make  your belly swell and
  your thigh rot." Then the woman shall  say,
  "Amen, Amen"

18
The root of the word Amen in Hebrew

• H543
• ???
• 'amen

20
Numbers 523 23 Then the Cohen shall WRITE
THESE CURSES IN A BOOK, and he shall scrape them
off INTO THE   BITTER WATER.24 And he shall make
the woman drink the bitter water that brings a
curse,  and the water that brings the curse shall
enter her to become bitter.25 Then the Cohen
shall take the grain offering of jealousy from
the woman's hand, shall wave the offering before
YHVH, and bring it to the altar
21
Numbers 526 The cohen is to take a handful of
the grain offering as its reminder portion and
make it go up in smoke on the altar afterwards,
he is to make the woman drink the water.
22
27 When he has made her drink the water, then,
if she is unclean and has been unfaithful to her
husband, the water that causes the curse will
enter her and become bitter, so that her abdomen
swells and her private parts shrivel up and the
woman will become an object of cursing among her
people.
23
Exodus 3226 Then Moses stood in the gate of
the camp, and said, Who is on the LORD'S side?
let him come unto me. And all the sons of Levi
gathered themselves together unto him. 27 And he
said unto them, Thus saith the LORD God of
Israel, Put every man his sword by his side, and
go in and out from gate to gate throughout the
camp, and slay every man his brother, and every
man his companion, and every man his neighbour.
24
28 And the children of Levi did according to the
word of Moses and there fell of the people that
day about three thousand men.
25
How many people came to the Good News of Messiah?

• Acts 241
• Then they that gladly received his word were
  baptized and the same day there were added unto
  them about three thousand souls.

26
NUMBERS 5 28 But if the woman is not unclean but
clean, then she will be innocent and will have
children. 29 This is the law for jealousy
when either a wife under her husband's authority
goes astray and becomes unclean,
27

Circumcision in the flesh made by hands 12
That at that time ye were without Messiah, being
aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, and
strangers from the covenants of promise, having
no hope, and without God in the world
30
13 But now in Messiah Yahshua ye who sometimes
were far off are made nigh by the blood of
Messiah. 14 For he is our peace, who hath
made both one, and hath broken down the middle
wall of partition between us

have to drink up her sins of spiritual adultery.

Yeshua Suffered the Death of the Adulterous
Woman MISHNAH, Sotah7 a, b. THEY BRING HER UP
TO THE GREAT COURT OF JUSTICE WHICH IS

HER IN THE SAME WAY THAT THEY CHARGE WITNESSES IN
CAPITAL CASES AND SAY TO HER,' MY DAUGHTER, WINE
DOES MUCH, FRIVOLITY DOES MUCH, YOUTH DOES MUCH,
BAD NEIGHBOURS DO MUCH. DO IT FOR THE SAKE OF HIS
GREAT NAME WHICH IS WRITTEN IN HOLINESS SO THAT
IT MAY NOT BE OBLITERATED BY THE WATER.' AND THEY
RELATE TO HER MATTERS WHICH NEITHER SHE NOR ALL
THE FAMILY OF HER FATHER'S HOUSE IS WORTHY TO
HEAR. IF SHE SAID, 'I HAVE MISCONDUCTED MYSELF',
SHE GIVES A QUITTANCE FOR HER MARRIAGE-SETTLEMENTA
ND DEPARTS BUT IF SHE SAYS, 'I AM PURE', THEY
BRING HER UP TO THE EAST GATE WHICH IS BY THE
ENTRANCE OF NICANOR'S GATE WHERE THEY GIVE

BECOME UNSTITCHED THEY ARE UNSTITCHED UNTIL HE
UNCOVERS HER BOSOM,AND HE UNDOES HER HAIR. R.
JUDAH SAYS IF HER BOSOM WAS BEAUTIFUL HE DOES
NOT UNCOVER IT, AND IF HER HAIR WAS BEAUTIFUL HE
DOES NOT UNDO IT. IF SHE WAS CLOTHED IN WHITE,
HE CLOTHES HER IN BLACK. IF SHE WORE GOLDEN
ORNAMENTS AND NECKLACES, EAR-RINGS AND
FINGER-RINGS, THEY REMOVE THEM FROM HER IN ORDER
TO MAKE HER REPULSIVE. AFTER THAT THE PRIEST
TAKES A COMMON ROPE AND BINDS IT OVER HER
BREASTS. WHOEVER WISHES TO LOOK UPON HER COMES TO
LOOK WITH THE EXCEPTION OF HER MALE AND FEMALE
SLAVES, BECAUSE HER HEART IS MADE DEFIANT THROUGH
THEM. ALL WOMEN ARE PERMITTED TO LOOK UPON HER,
AS IT IS SAID, THAT ALL WOMEN MAY BE TAUGHT NOT
TO DO AFTER YOUR LEWDNESS. IN THE MEASURE WITH
WHICH A MAN MEASURES IT IS METED OUT TO HIM. SHE
ADORNED HERSELF FOR A TRANSGRESSION THE HOLY
ONE, BLESSED BE HE, MADE HER REPULSIVE. SHE
EXPOSED HERSELF FOR A TRANSGRESSION THE HOLY
ONE, BLESSED BE HE, HELD HER UP FOR EXPOSURE. SHE
BEGAN THE TRANSGRESSION WITH THE THIGH AND
AFTERWARDS WITH THE WOMB THEREFORE SHE
IS PUNISHED FIRST IN THE THIGH AND AFTERWARDS IN
THE WOMB, NOR DOES ALL THE BODY ESCAPE.
