My one-time past performance, Catharsis Of The Sotah, discussed the suffering of bitter waters which exonerates or condemns the sotah, an disapproving next of kin. In the function of are these bitter waters ( )?
Rabbi Akiva understood to them [previously to their ascension]: "Like you come to the place of clean and tidy mineral stones, do not say, 'Water! Water!' (4 Who Entered The Pardes)
