“And when he hath made her to drink the water, then it shall come to pass, that, if she be defiled, and have done trespass against her husband, that the water that causeth the curse shall enter into her, and become bitter, and her belly shall swell, and her thigh shall rot: and the woman shall be a curse among her people.”
And the priest shall set the woman before the LORD, and uncover the woman's head, and put the offering of memorial in her hands — the uncovering of the woman's head is a sign of shame and exposure (Leviticus 10:6, Numbers 5:18), transforming private suspicion into public humiliation. The placement of the offering in her hands requires her to acknowledge the gravity of the case.
