If any one bring an accusation against a man and the accused go to the river and leap into the river if he sink in the river his accuser shall take possession of his house. But if the river prove that?

If the accused leaps into the river and sinks, it is taken as a sign of guilt, and the accuser is awarded the accused's possessions. Conversely, if the accused floats, it signifies innocence, and the accuser faces the consequences of false accusations. This practice reflects ancient beliefs in divine judgment through physical trials. It underscores the serious nature of accusations and the importance of proving one's innocence.
