Numbers 5:17, Berean Standard Bible

Explanation preview

The LORD is speaking to Moses, and this verse falls within the ritual for a wife suspected of unfaithfulness, which the priest carries out at the tabernacle. The holy water likely came from the basin used by the priests, and the dust was taken from the tabernacle floor, the ground of the place where God dwells among Israel.
