Summary

This is one of those videos where I'm just hoping people will think carefully about what I'm saying. I race through a few things here rather quickly, though I fully mean what I'm saying. I think there's an obvious implication in the bitter water ritual that has application toward the idea of an overly jealous and suspicious spouse.

0:46.7

I think she's been sleeping with the mailman or whatever, he's accusing her of, they write

0:51.0

down a curse then, hey, if you are violating these, they give her a chance to confess,

0:54.9

right?

0:56.2

They write down this stuff on a papyrus and then they scrape the ink off into water.

She drinks it.

1:10.4

have kids, like she'll, her womb will have issues.

1:15.2

And if she's innocent, nothing will happen.

1:17.8

Now what people often do is they tend to, the modern feminist reading of this passage
