    Numbers 5:16-28. 5:21 is the line that proves that the ceremony is an abortion, since the drink causes the abdomen to swell and a miscarriage to occur. It’s an attempt to cut away the chaff of the surrounding text while still giving the passage that demonstrates the abortion within the text.

    Someone else did give context that this likely an incorrect translation: https://lemmy.world/comment/8764494

    And then additional comments debunk that idea

      To be fair, the Bible has been translated and censored so many times that no one knows what was originally in there.
