“And the priest shall take holy water in an earthen vessel; and of the dust that is in the floor of the tabernacle the priest shall take, and put it into the water:”
Numbers 5:17 (KJV)
Commentary on Numbers 5:17
The holy water in an earthen vessel combines the sacred and the common. Holy water from the laver used for priestly consecration is placed in a common clay vessel, then mixed with dust from the tabernacle floor. This mixture of holy, common, and even base elements creates the water of testing. The earthen vessel may represent humanity—containing what is holy yet being common clay. The dust recalls the curse on the serpent and on Adam—'dust you are and to dust you shall return.'
