+The words "Suppose that a man's wife turns away" begin a long description of a possible situation, something that has not happened but might happen. Yahweh tells Moses what to do if it does happen.

 # a man's wife turns away
 
 This means that she goes away from him and is unfaithful to him. Alternate translation: "a man's wife is unfaithful" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-idiom]])
