Musar sobre Números 5:27
וְהִשְׁקָ֣הּ אֶת־הַמַּ֗יִם וְהָיְתָ֣ה אִֽם־נִטְמְאָה֮ וַתִּמְעֹ֣ל מַ֣עַל בְּאִישָׁהּ֒ וּבָ֨אוּ בָ֜הּ הַמַּ֤יִם הַמְאָֽרֲרִים֙ לְמָרִ֔ים וְצָבְתָ֣ה בִטְנָ֔הּ וְנָפְלָ֖ה יְרֵכָ֑הּ וְהָיְתָ֧ה הָאִשָּׁ֛ה לְאָלָ֖ה בְּקֶ֥רֶב עַמָּֽהּ׃
Quando ele tiver feito que ela beba a água, sucederá que, se ela se tiver contaminado, e tiver pecado contra seu marido, a água, que traz consigo a maldição, entrará nela, tornando-se amarga; inchar-lhe-á o ventre e a coxa se lhe consumirá; e a mulher será por maldição no meio do seu povo.
Shenei Luchot HaBerit
הרואה סוטה בקלקולה יזיר עצמו מהיין "If someone sees a סוטה in her state of disgrace, he should resolve to abstain from wine." I have written previously that the reason the woman becomes a curse, i.e. והיתה האשה לאלה, is because of the pollutant of the original serpent which had contaminated Eve. The Nazirite has to abstain from wine since Eve had squeezed out the juice from a cluster of grapes. Once this תקון, correction, has been made, the curse is converted into a blessing. This is why the ברכת כהנים, is written in the Torah following the paragraph of the Nazirite.
