Números 5:25 Meaning and Commentary

Numbers 5:25

Then the priest shall take the jealousy offering out of the
woman's hand
Which she was obliged to hold in her hand while the above rites and ceremonies were performed; which was very heavy, being an omer of barley flour, a measure about three quarts, which was put into an Egyptian basket made of small palm tree twigs: and this was put into her hands to weary her, as before observed, that, having her mind distressed, she might the sooner confess her crime: and shall wave the offering before the Lord:
backwards and forwards, upwards and downwards, as Jarchi; who also observes, that the woman waved with him, for her hand was above the hand of the priest so the tradition is,

``he (her husband) took her offering out of the Egyptian basket, and put it into a ministering vessel, and gave it into her hand, and the priest put his hand under hers, and waved it ^F1:''

and offer it upon the altar:
this was the bringing of it to the southwest corner of the altar, as Jarchi says, before he took a handful out of it, as in other meat offerings.

Números 5:25 In-Context

23 “O sacerdote escreverá essas maldições num documento e depois as lavará na água amarga.

24 Ele a fará beber a água amarga que traz maldição, e essa água entrará nela, causando-lhe amargo sofrimento.

25 O sacerdote apanhará das mãos dela a oferta de cereal pelo ciúme, a moverá ritualmente perante o SENHOR e a trará ao altar.

26 Então apanhará um punhado da oferta de cereal como oferta memorial e a queimará sobre o altar; depois disso fará a mulher beber a água.

27 Se ela houver se contaminado, sendo infiel ao seu marido, quando o sacerdote fizer que ela beba a água que traz maldição, essa água entrará nela e causará um amargo sofrimento; sua barriga inchará e ela, incapaz de ter filhos, se tornará objeto de maldição no meio do seu povo.
