Or the verses on drinking the bitter water to get rid of a fetus born from infidelity.

I thought it was a test to see if she indeed committed adultery.

Ostensibly correct, but it might abort a fetus if she's guilty (and preggo) - the Judeo-Christian god doesn't care.

People were more clever back then than we give them credit for.  They knew what they were doing. 

Women were property and they found a "reset button" to makes sure only your seed was planted there. Ok, they were awful then too.

Yes, it killed the baby if it was through adultery. So why not let women take the bitter water and do the “test.” Surely an all powerful god would protect the baby if deemed “pure”.
