Clear Maare Mekomos with a
running English explanation
This week's parsha discusses the laws of a sotah. The sotah is a married woman who is suspected of having relations with another man. Such a woman is forced to drink some specially prepared water. If she is indeed guilty, her stomach would explode and her leg would fall off. It was a gruesome death that was carried out in public.
The Gemora in Maseches Sotah teaches that the sotah was driven by her jealousy of someone else's husband. In turn, she was repaid by loosing her own husband as well as her life.
