18 and the priest hath caused the woman to stand before Jehovah, and hath uncovered the woman's head, and hath given into her hands the present of the memorial, it [is] a present of jealousy, and in the hand of the priest are the bitter waters which cause the curse.


Commentary on this verse  

By Henry MacLagan

Verse 18. Yet there is acknowledgement that good is entirely from the Lord, from whom it is discovered that evil has corrupted the truth in the natural mind, while yet there is the good of truth also from the Lord, even though there is suspicion, and the appearance that truth separated from good condemns and causes aversion.
