Sotah 7B

וקטליאות, נזמים וטבעות ⁠— מעבירין ממנה, כדי לנוולה. ואחר כך מביא חבל מצרי וקושרו למעלה מדדיה,

or chokers [katliyot], or nose rings, or finger rings, they removed them from her in order to render her unattractive. And afterward the priest would bring an Egyptian rope fashioned from palm fibers, and he would tie it above her breasts.

וכל הרוצה לראות בא לראות, חוץ מעבדיה ושפחותיה, מפני שלבה גס בהן. וכל הנשים מותרות לראותה, שנאמר: ״ונוסרו כל הנשים ולא תעשינה כזמתכנה״.

And anyone who desires to watch her may come to watch, except for her slaves and female slaves, who are not permitted to watch because her heart is emboldened by them, as seeing one’s slaves reinforces one’s feeling of pride, and their presence may cause her to maintain her innocence. And all of the women are permitted to watch her, as it is stated: “Thus will I cause lewdness to cease out of the land, that all women may be taught not to do after your lewdness” (Ezekiel 23:48).

גמ׳ מנהני מילי? אמר רבי חייא בר גמדא אמר רבי יוסי ברבי חנינא: אתיא ״תורה״ ״תורה״. כתיב הכא: ״ועשה לה הכהן את כל התורה״, וכתיב התם: ״על פי התורה אשר יורוך״, מה להלן בשבעים ואחד ⁠— אף כאן בשבעים ואחד.

Talmud: The Talmud asks concerning the halakha that the sota is brought before the Sanhedrin: From where are these matters derived? R' Ḥiyya bar Gamda says that R' Yosei, son of R' Ḥanina, says: This is derived by means of a verbal analogy between the words “tora” and “tora.” It is written here, with regard to a sota: “And the priest should execute upon her all this law [tora]” (Numbers 5:30), and it is written there, with regard to a rebellious Elder, who must go to the place chosen by God and follow the ruling of the Sanhedrin: “According to the law [tora] that they should teach you” (Deuteronomy 17:11). Just as there the verse is referring to what occurs in the presence of the Sanhedrin of 71 judges, so too here, with regard to a sota, the verse is referring to what occurs in the presence of the Sanhedrin of 71 judges.
