  • Cynthia Bromback on Numbers 5 - 4 years ago
    I do not see how the jealousy curse indicates a miscarriage or abortion. It says nothing about her being pregnant.
  • Terri l nyberg on Numbers 5 - 5 years ago
    Numbers 5:21 and 27: Womb shrink and abdomen to swell - is the curse to cause a woman to miscarry or to be infertile?
  • Miguel Atkinson on Numbers 5 - 5 years ago
    The law of jealousies foretell Jesus Christ being born! God has shown me This! Believe in Jesus Christ and you shall have everlasting life! Get a king james bible and believe. In Exodus chapter 20 we see what makes God jealous and this is "law of jealousies". The adulteress or non faithful woman is "israel" and is under the curse. The faithful wife "Judah" is made free of curse and conceives seed.
  • Michael on Numbers 5 - 5 years ago
    Does anyone think law of jealousies points to Israel and Judah? One committed adultery with stones and other brought forth the seed. I think so but I am still studying this.
  • BSP on Numbers 5 - 5 years ago
    Verse 2~Jehovah God gave the command for the lepers to be separate. Leprosy is contagious and so God was trying to keep his people healthy, safe, and holy.
  • A disciple on Numbers 5 - 7 years ago
    David, this part in the Law was only a part of what all is said about adultery: the commandment is, Thou shalt not commit ADULTERY. And the Lord Jesus expounded it to the Jews; who ought to have known already; that the Word goes to the thoughts and intents of the heart; and not only in the physical action. Other Scriptures mention the death penalty applying to both the man and woman for that sin.
  • David on Numbers 5 - 7 years ago
    Why is it that only women are prosecuted in the Bible days for infidelity?
  • David on Numbers 5 - 7 years ago
    I am a bit uncomfortable about the system of the olden days. Why is it that, it's only women's infidelity attracts courses and judgment, does it mean that in those days men doesn't have extramarital affairs?
  • QWilliams on Numbers 5 - 7 years ago
    Jane, Leprosy is still here today! Qe may ask, why is there so much cancer? Sin has covered this earth and especially America. The sins of today, has become good and Not many want to Repent. We must separate our selves from this evilness and shine our Light in this darkened World.
  • Darlene Jackson on Numbers 5 - 7 years ago
    Verse 20... Simply says, if the woman went out and have laid with another man, she shall drink the bitter water and her belly shall swell. Which gives the sign of an adultery wife. Therefore she will become a curse and many people would know what the women was found guilty of. Also if not guilty she will be free to go and conceive a child with her own husband.. However your sin will find you out.
  • Gracie Gragg on Numbers 5 - 8 years ago
    This is the chapter that deals with causing a miscarriage which is also causing an abortion.
  • Roger on Numbers 5 - 8 years ago
    Several schools of thought about this. One is that "leprosy" was a generic term for any type of skin disease. Second, not fully understanding how diseases were spread, proper precautions might not have been taken, and people may have inadvertently become contaminated with the leprosy bacteria.
  • Jane on Numbers 5 - 8 years ago
    Why so much leprosy cases in those days ?
  • Anne on Numbers 5 - 8 years ago
    Thank God for the blood of Jesus which cleanses us from all unrighteousness.
  • Insight 777 on Numbers 5 - 9 years ago
    Jealousy is considered sinful and it is difficult to be in a marriage when jealousy destroys the trust and harmony between the couple. It needs a resolution to restore the marriage. Verse 15..Barley is a self pollenating grain that represents the marriage union as ONE and not as 2 people going different ways. An ephah is a unit of measurement used with scales. Scales today is a symbol of the Justice system. By bringing the wife before the priest the suspicion of infidelity became a path for forgiveness and a healing for the marriage. However, the possibility of venereal disease, the curse, was made known so the community would be informed if she was guilty to save others from the same fate.
  • Fred on Numbers 5 - 9 years ago
    Answer to Frank s question Putting the sick and defiled outside the camp is an "act of quarantine " to prevent the whole camp from becoming infected by the few. It is a righteous act to separate the sick from the healthy so everyone does not have to suffer the sickness of a few.
  • Tom on Numbers 5 - 10 years ago
    I think it s because all this happened before Jesus was sent as a sacrifice
  • Frank on Numbers 5 - 10 years ago
    i don't understand the first four verses of numbers. jesus walked among the sick and people with blemishes . why would his father in heaven want them outside the area of the tabernacle?
