I think that the passage provides an important addendum to your article. Basically, it is about bastards. The real victim of adultery is of course the husband, so God offered the victim a way out: The husband could by his choice and free will present his adulterous wife to a priest. The woman would drink bitter water and had she sinned, the bastard would be terminated. This is also an elegant way to give responsibility to the one that suffers from adultery and the following pregnancy the most, the betrayed husband.
Numbers 5:27
And when he hath made her to drink the water, then it shall come to pass, that, if she be defiled, and have done trespass against her husband, that the water that causeth the curse shall enter into her, and become bitter, and her belly shall swell, and her thigh shall rot: and the woman shall be a curse among her people. |
How could I have forgotten the Ordeal of the Bitter Waters? Thank you for that reminder, doctor.

The tincture is available for suspicious husbands at the Lamentations Flint Memorial Building. The efficacy has been staggering, as all the women who've drank it have actually been proven to have committed adultery! We're still investigating if this would also prove to be an efficient method to discern bestial fornication and the use of inanimate objects for unnatural pleasure.

Obviously, you may not want to share your recipe for abortion water with the unsaved, but I can only imagine the massive amount of trial and error mixtures you guys must have had to go through to replicate tabernacle dust and the perfect earthen vessel.
Maybe you are importing them from Fukishima? Too soon?
