Sotah 4:5 - 5:1

אלו שב"ד מקנאין להם – if they see them that they are acting with licentiousness.

ולא להשקותה אמרו – for we surely require (Numbers 5:15): “that man shall bring his wife [to the priest]” and we don’t have it, and her husband also, when he will come, he cannot cause her to drink [the waters of bitterness] through this warning given to the suspected wife for we require (Numbers 5:14): “and he is wrought up about the wife [who has defiled herself]” and (Numbers 5:15): “that man shall bring his wife,” and Rabbi Yosi does not require: “he is wrought up about the wife”–"וקנא" and “that man shall bring his wife”–"והביא" and the Halakha is not according to Rabbi Yosi. But a blind person does not cause his wife to drink, as it states (there – Numbers 5:13): “unbeknown to her husband”–"מעיני אישה" (literally, from the eyes of her husband), and from what is stated (Numbers 5:29): “a woman who goes astray while married to her husband”–"אשה תחת אישה" – we learned that whatever prevents the husband from causing [her] to drink, prevents the woman from drinking [the waters of bitterness] if his wife had the same thing. Therefore, if she was blind, she does not drink, and if she was lame, she does not drink, as it states (Numbers 5:18): “After he (i.e., the priest) has made the woman stand [before the LORD],” and similarly, if she had her hand or fingers cut off, as it states (Numbers 5:18): “and place upon her hands [the meal offering of remembrance],” or mute, as we require (Numbers 5:22): “And the woman shall say, [“Amen, amen],” and similarly, if the husband was lame, or had his fingers or hand cut off or was mute, he does not cause her to drink [the waters of bitterness, since it is written (Numbers 5:29): “when a woman goes astray while married to her husband”–"אשה תחת אישה" – as we have stated.

כך בודקין – adulterer.

ובאו ובאו – both of them (Numbers 5:22 and Numbers 5:27) have an extra [letter] “vav” for interpretation.

נטמאה ונטמאה – (Numbers 5:27 and Numbers 5:29) the extra “vav” in the second word "ונטמאה" –and defiles herself (Numbers 5:29) is for interpretation.

רבי אומר שני פעמים וכו' – Rebbe (i.e., Rabbi Judah the Prince) did not expound the extra letter “vav” as Rabbi Akiva but rather the inclusion of the Biblical verses he expounds whether the two forms of "ובאו" –”and they enter” (verse 22) and “the spell-inducing waters enter” or whether two forms of "ונטמאה" –”if she defiled herself” (verses 28 and 29).
