Commentary on Numbers 5:26
Taking a handful of the memorial offering and burning it on the altar mirrors the standard grain offering procedure, but in this context, it serves as a memorial before God of the suspected transgression. The burning creates smoke that ascends to God, bringing the matter formally into His presence. Only after this memorial is made does the woman drink the bitter water. This sequence teaches that accusation, memorialization before God, and divine judgment must follow proper order. The Reformed emphasis on God's ordained means applies even to matters of judgment.
