Imam harus mengambil segenggam dari persembahan tepung itu sebagai bagian peringatannya, lalu membakarnya di atas mezbah; sesudah itu ia harus memberi perempuan itu minum air itu.
Tosefta Sotah
If her meal-offering contracted impurity before it was consecrated in the [earthenware] vessel (Num. 5:18), behold, it is like any meal-offering [that became defiled]: It can be redeemed and eaten. [But if it contracted impurity] after it was consecrated in the vessel, its form is allowed to decay and it is taken out to the place of burning.*Cf. Sot. 3:6, omitting "its form is allowed to decay," a phrase typically associated with disqualified animal sacrifices (see, e.g., Pes. 7:9, Shek. 7:3, Tos. Pesachim 4:1, Tos. Pesachim 6:6). [If] she consecrated her meal-offering but there was not enough time [for the Kohen] to consecrate the handful [of the meal-offering] (Num. 5:26) before her husband dies, or before she herself dies, the remainders are forbidden, because from the beginning it came from a matter of doubt (i.e., whether adultery had occurred), and it atoned for its doubt and left.*See Sot. 9:7, using identical language in connection with the heifer whose neck is broken. [If] witnesses came [and testified] that she was defiled, whether in this case or in that case, her meal-offering is forbidden. [If] it turns out that they were conspiring witnesses, whether in this case or in that case, her meal-offering [reverts to being] unconsecrated.
