פירוש על מלכים א 8:31

Should a person sin against his fellow man. One who has intimate relations with a married woman.

And is liable that a curse. Just as the water examines her, so does the water examine him.¹⁹Rashi explains אלה as “a curse,” i.e., the waters examines “him” i.e., the husband, as well. In this instance, אלה does not mean “oath”, because the husband of a Sotah is not subject to an oath.

And is liable. An expression of a creditor.
