    Where it talks about giving a woman who has been accused of having sex some sort of something to drink to see if she is guilty. If she convulses, she's guilty...or something like that. It's in the OT.

    Does anyone have any idea what I'm talking about??

    Thanks!!!

    I think it had something to do with their tummy swelling up? (not from pregnancy, due to drinking some concoction as Bona Dea mentioned, I believe)

    Numbers 5:11-31.
    Seems a strange research topic - wanna hand?

    It's a case where 2 witnesses were not required to determine guilt.

    Yeah, that's it. The tummy swelling and the all important "thigh falling away".

    sixofnine,

    Tummy swells, that's right....

    *smacking head in unison*

    Hiya Little Toe!

    Thanks for the scripture!!

    I'm in a debate on another forum about the bible (busy, busy) ...and some of the things from the OT. I was trying to find this scripture and couldn't remember where it was. Thanks for offering to help. I may need some. I'll let ya know if I do

    Blondie,

    Good point...
