Fulfill the Torah’s procedure for a suspected adulteress (Sotah).
This mitzvah commands carrying out the process of the Sotah — a woman whose husband suspects her of adultery and who was warned not to seclude herself with another man. The Torah prescribes a unique Temple procedure, where the Kohen administers bitter waters to test her innocence. If she is guilty, the waters bring her punishment; if innocent, she is blessed with fertility. This mitzvah preserves marital trust, deters immorality, and demonstrates Hashem’s direct role in protecting the sanctity of marriage.
