“And the priest shall take an handful of the offering, even the memorial thereof, and burn it upon the altar, and afterward shall cause the woman to drink the water.”
And the priest shall take some of the dust that is in the floor of the tabernacle and put it into the water — the dust of the tabernacle's floor (the dust that has touched the place where God dwells) infuses the water with sacred significance. The physical connection to the sanctuary emphasizes that the trial invokes divine presence.
