הֵנִיף וְהִגִּישׁ, קָמַץ וְהִקְטִיר, וְהַשְּׁאָר נֶאֱכָל לַכֹּהֲנִים. הָיָה מַשְׁקָהּ וְאַחַר כָּךְ מַקְרִיב אֶת מִנְחָתָהּ. רַבִּי שִׁמְעוֹן אוֹמֵר, מַקְרִיב אֶת מִנְחָתָהּ וְאַחַר כָּךְ הָיָה מַשְׁקָהּ, שֶׁנֶּאֱמַר (במדבר ה) וְאַחַר יַשְׁקֶה אֶת הָאִשָּׁה אֶת הַמָּיִם. אִם הִשְׁקָהּ וְאַחַר כָּךְ הִקְרִיב אֶת מִנְחָתָהּ, כְּשֵׁרָה:

He waved and brought it near, grabbed a handful and burned it, and the remainder was fed to the priests. He gives her to drink and after that sacrificed her meal-offering. R. Shimon said: He sacrificed her meal-offering and after that gave her to drink, as it says, "and after he shall give the woman the water to drink " (Numbers 5:26). If he gave her to drink and after that sacrificed her meal-offering, it is valid.
