Provider For All [Numbers 5]

¹¹Then the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,

 ¹²"Speak to the sons of Israel and say to them, 'If any man's wife goes astray and is unfaithful to him,

 ¹³and a man has intercourse with her and it is hidden from the eyes of her husband and she is undetected, although she has defiled herself, and there is no witness against her and she has not been caught in the act,

 ¹⁴if a spirit of jealousy comes over him and he is jealous of his wife when she has defiled herself, or if a spirit of jealousy comes over him and he is jealous of his wife when she has not defiled herself,

 ¹⁵the man shall then bring his wife to the priest, and shall bring as an offering for her one-tenth of an ephah of barley meal; he shall not pour oil on it nor put frankincense on it, for it is a grain offering of jealousy, a grain offering of memorial, a reminder of iniquity.

 ¹⁶'Then the priest shall bring her near and have her stand before the LORD,

In addition to instructions pertaining the the community health and justice in Numbers 5, God also gave detailed instructions as to what to do with a jealous husband when there was no evidence of wrong. This passage provided instruction for a way for the truth to be exposed and the situation resolved so that the innocent were protected and the guilty were punished.
