Laws #136-138 To fulfill the laws of the Sotah...Not to put oil on her meal offering...Not to put frankincense on her meal offering
Num. 5:30 "Or when the spirit of jealousy comes upon him, and he be jealous over his wife, and shall set the woman before the Lord, and the priest shall execute upon her all this law."
Law #136 The Command here is to follow through with the Laws of a Suspect wife (Sotah) if a woman be found to have possibly cheated on her husband. This process can be found in Num. 5:11-31. An adulterous wife polluted the nation of Israel, making them all unclean. If a man has a "spirit of jealousy" or a suspicion that his wife has cheated, she is brought before the priests who set her before the Most High along with her meal offering. Laws #137 & 138 say no oil/frankincense was to be poured on her meal, which was symbolic of drawing the Most High's attention to her potential guilt. Holy water was given to her and expected to cause a curse within her body and make her barren, if she truly cheated. It was expected to have no effect if she was innocent (vs. 27-28). The Bible calls this water "bitter," in reference to its potential effect of making her sterile if she had sinned. (see Gen. 20:17 Abimelech's wives become sterile as a result of his intention to commit adultery with Sarah. see Lev. 20:20-21 Incestuous relationships lead to woman becoming Sterile).
