Amen.\u201d\u00a0The priest shall then write these curses on a scroll, and he shall wash them off into the water of bitterness.\u00a0Then he shall make the woman drink the water of bitterness that brings a curse, so that the water which brings a curse will go into her and cause bitterness.\u00a0The priest shall take the grain offering of jealousy from the woman\u2019s hand, and he shall wave the grain offering before the LORD and bring it to the altar;\u00a0and the priest shall take a handful of the grain offering as its memorial offering and offer it up in smoke on the altar, and afterward he shall make the woman drink the water.\u00a0When he has made her drink the water, then it shall come about, if she has defiled herself and has been unfaithful to her husband, that the water which brings a curse will go into her and cause bitterness, and her abdomen will swell and her thigh will waste away, and the woman will become a curse among her people.\u00a0But if the woman has not defiled herself and is clean, she will then be free and conceive children.\u00a0(Numbers 5:14-28)(NASB)<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n I mention that\u00a0<\/span>the above law was part of the Old Covenant, it\u00a0was applied only to the people of Israel and it does not apply to Christians today.<\/span><\/p>\n Translated by Felicia Rotaru<\/em><\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Question: Please, write an article where\u00a0the biblical teaching on holy water is presented and specifically, how it is made, when it is used, why it is used, who may be sanctified and who not, etc. It is not a New Testament practice No wonder you did not find anything about the holy water because it […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":46,"featured_media":58254,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"inline_featured_image":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_genesis_hide_title":false,"_genesis_hide_breadcrumbs":false,"_genesis_hide_singular_image":false,"_genesis_hide_footer_widgets":false,"_genesis_custom_body_class":"","_genesis_custom_post_class":"","_genesis_layout":"","ep_exclude_from_search":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[126],"tags":[10903],"class_list":{"0":"post-58258","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-answer-from-the-bible","8":"tag-holy-water","9":"entry"},"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n\n
