NET © Notes |
1 tn The word “other” is implied, since the woman would not be guilty of having sexual relations with her own husband. 2 sn Although there would be stress involved, a woman who was innocent would have nothing to hide, and would be confident. The wording of the priest’s oath is actually designed to enable the potion to keep her from harm and not produce the physical effects it was designed to do. |
