What is the first use of the word "Amen" in the Bible?


When a woman is forced to drink water that makes her belly swell and her thigh rot in the Law of Jealousies

Fewer Words Version: God said to Moses, "When the spirit of jealousy comes upon a man, and he suspects that his wife has had sex with another man, he shall bring his wife to the priest. And the priest shall set her before me."

The priest shall say to the woman: "If you’ve had sex with a man who is not your husband, God will cause this water to make your thigh rot and your belly swell."

And the woman shall say, “Amen. Amen.”

Then the priest will make her drink the bitter water that causes the curse. If she is defiled and has had sex with a man who is not her husband, God will make her belly swell, her thigh will rot, and she will be a curse among her people.

But if she is not defiled, then she shall be free and will conceive seed.

This is the law of jealousies, when a wife has sex with a man who is not her husband.

Or when the spirit of jealousy comes on a man, and he is jealous over his wife.

The man is guiltless, and the woman shall bear her iniquity. Numbers 5:11-31
