water of jealousy. Under Mosaic law a woman who had com- mitted adultery was to be stoned to death. But if a husband only suspected his wife of adultery she was given the water of jealousy to drink (Deut. 22:22) before the Sanhedrin. The dust from the sanctuary was mixed with the water and the priest said: “If thou hast gone aside may Jehovah make this water bit- ter to thee, and bring on thee all the curses written in this law.” He then wrote down the curses, sprinkled the water on this writing, and gave the woman the rest of the water of jealousy to drink.
