Comentários de Citação sobre Números 5:23

Introduction After putting the meal offering on the hand of the woman, the priest begins to write the curse on a scroll (Numbers 5:23). Later, he will state this curse or curses to the woman and then the writing will be rubbed out into the water and she will drink the mixture. In our mishnah there is a debate about how much he writes on the scroll.

ולא היה כותב ואמרה האשה אמן אמן – it is nothing other than a receipt that the woman accepts upon herself the oaths and we derive it as it is written (Numbers 5:23): “[The priest shall put] these curses down in writing and rub it into the water of bitterness],” "האלות"–the curses – to include curses that come on account of the blessings. [The word] "האלה"–these – to exclude [the instructions] and the affirmations (see Talmud Sotah 17a – by the woman saying “Amen”).
