Whenever the Torah records two seemingly unrelated ideas together, whether mitzvoth or incidents, our rabbis try to find some relationship between the two that forms a logical connection. Such is the case in Parshat Naso. We begin with the case of a woman who goes astray and her husband suspects her of adultery/ an isha sota. She is brought before the Kohen where she drinks the water into which the words of the curses that will befall her, including God’s name, have been erased. Based on her innocence or guilt, she either dies a horrible death or is blessed for her future with her husband.
