    Numbers 5 21 here the priest is to put the woman under this curse—“may the Lord cause you to become a curse[d] among your people when he makes your womb miscarry and your abdomen swell. 22 May this water that brings a curse enter your body so that your abdomen swells or your womb miscarries.”

    “‘Then the woman is to say, “Amen. So be it.”

    It’s in response to a woman being unfaithful to her husband.

    Of course, in reality the concoction does nothing, but the point of the Bible passage is literally an abortion.
