Numeri 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.

Numeri 5:25 In-Context

23 Poi il sacerdote scriverà queste imprecazioni in un rotolo, e le cancellerà con l’acqua amara.
24 Farà bere alla donna quell’acqua amara che arreca maledizione, e l’acqua che arreca maledizione entrerà in lei per produrle amarezza;
25 e il sacerdote prenderà dalle mani della donna l’oblazione di gelosia, agiterà l’oblazione davanti all’Eterno, e l’offrirà sull’altare;
26 e il sacerdote prenderà una manata di quell’oblazione come ricordanza, e la farà fumare sull’altare; poi farà bere l’acqua alla donna.
27 E quando le avrà fatto bere l’acqua, avverrà che, s’ella si è contaminata ed ha commesso una infedeltà contro il marito, l’acqua che arreca maledizione entrerà in lei per produrre amarezza; il ventre le si gonfierà, i suoi fianchi smagriranno, e quella donna diventerà un oggetto di maledizione in mezzo al suo popolo.
