Gone aside - literally, "gone astray from" thy husband by uncleanness; compare Hosea 4:12.
And the priest shall charge her by an oath,.... Or give her her oath:
and say unto the woman, if no man hath lain with thee: besides her husband:
and thou hast not gone aside to uncleanness with another instead of thy husband; which is but another phrase expressive of the same thing, the sin of adultery:
be thou free from this bitter water that causeth the curse; if this is the case, it shall produce no bitter effects, or bring any curse upon thee.
By an oath - To answer truly to his question, or to declare whether she be guilty or no, and after such oath shall say as follows.
