none2.0,
“You seem to be using the pasuk any way you want.”
Absolutely not! I only interpret it that way because we have a tradition brought down and codified in the gemara. I’m not going to deviate from that.
“It was an _action_ that was done by sotah to embarras the woman.”
And where in the pasuk does it say it was done davka to embarrass the woman? That’s not a plain reading either, it’s an interpretation. And where does this interpretation come from? The same place mine did! So the interesting question is why do you take chazal’s interpretation for the reason her hair is uncovered as an axiom, but reject everything else chazal say about it?
“I can also chop up any sentence and take one word or one letter and make it fit to whatever belief system I have. Talk about making anything serve your own purposes lol.”
No you can’t. The rules for interpretation come from our tradition and have strict parameters. For example, a gezeira shava is a way to derive a halacha for one case based on similar or identical words used in a separate, seemingly unrelated case. But we can’t just make up our own gezeira shava. It’s only valid if it has a mesora.
