that man shall bring his wife to the kohein and he shall bring her offering for her; [which is] one tenth of an epha [three se’in] of barley flour; he shall not pour oil over it and he shall not put frankincense on it, for it is a meal-offering of jealousy, a meal-offering of remembrance, recalling an iniquity.
