Numbers 5:16
"then the man shall bring his wife to the priest, and shall bring her offering for her: one tenth of an ephah of barley meal. He shall pour no oil on it, nor put frankincense on it, for it is a meal offering of jealousy, a meal offering of memorial, bringing iniquity to memory."
Key Reflection
This passage describes a ritual where a husband brings his wife and an offering to the priest if he suspects her of adultery. The meal offering, made of barley meal without oil or incense, symbolizes simplicity and humbleness, highlighting the seriousness of the accusation and the need to bring iniquity to light for judgment.
