    Defiled yourself via committing adultery.

    You can translate anything terribly, doesn’t discount the original work.

      Ok well you’re just being purposely obtuse if you think being made to drink a prepared water after committing adultery and then proceeding to miscarry doesn’t mean you were pregnant.

      They’re not exactly using contraception.

      Regardless of the translation, it’s pretty clear these are instructions on how to treat an adulterous woman and cause a miscarriage.

        The word “miscarry” isn’t there. Being made infertile and having heavy periods constantly would make you an unclean curse to the people around you.

          Well, you’re either actively trolling me or yourself at this point because obviously the absence of that word - while describing one - isn’t some gotcha.

          Ok, sure it doesn’t have that specific word but it sure does have a description of one. Giving you the benefit of the doubt, I understand being wrapped up in biblical text and trying to defend it. Having faith and it being “attacked” can be hard and feels bad. I’m not trying to beat you up but take a step back and look at the whole picture.

            It’s clearly describing infertility. Not abortion.
