🌊 Jealous beside Numbers 5:15
When jealous is loud, Numbers 5:15 is a sentence you can borrow. “then the man shall bring his wife to the priest, and shall bring her offering for her: one tenth of an ephah of barley meal. He shall pour no oil on it, nor put frankincense on it, for it is a meal offering of jealousy, a meal offering of memorial, bringing iniquity to memory.” The other two verses on this page stay with the same need.

Parent tip
If the feeling is bigger than a verse, stay in the room. Numbers 5:15 is a companion, not a fix-it line. The other two verses are for a second night if this one is enough.
