“And the priest shall write these curses in a book, and he shall blot them out with the bitter water:”
Numbers 5:23 (KJV)
Commentary on Numbers 5:23
The writing of curses and their blotting into the bitter water creates a physical symbol of the judgment being internalized. The woman will literally drink the written curses. This vivid imagery demonstrates that God's word accomplishes what it declares—when the woman drinks, she physically takes in the potential curse, which will either have no effect (if innocent) or produce the promised consequences (if guilty). The written word of God, even in curse form, is efficacious and powerful.
