Commentary for Kiddushin 72:6
מה כאן כהן אף להלן כהן מה להלן בעלים אף כאן בעלים הא כיצד כהן מכניס ידו תחת יד בעלים ומניף
[You ask,] 'How do we know!' it is written in the very section, and he shall wave the offering [before the Lord].<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' Num. V, 25; the reference is to sotah.');"><sup>11</sup></span> But [the question is,] how do we know that the waving must be by the owner?<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' I.e., by the woman herself.');"><sup>12</sup></span> - The meaning of 'hand' is deduced from a peace-offering.
Daf Shevui to Kiddushin
The word “kaf” is used in both the context of the sotah (Numbers 6:19) and the nezirah (Numbers 5:18). This allows the process used in the sotah to be applied to the nezirah. She too waves her offering with the priest’s hand underneath.
