Commentary
Gill's Exposition
And the priest shall take an handful of the offering, even the memorial thereof,.... For good or evil, according as her works were, as Aben Ezra observes; a memorial for
good, if innocent, and a memorial for evil, if guilty: and burn it upon the altar; as the handful of other meat offerings used to be, Lev 1:2 , and afterwards shall cause the woman to drink the water; oblige her to it; having proceeded thus far, and no confession made, namely, an oath taken, the curses of it written in a scroll and scraped into the waters, and the jealousy offering waved and offered.
