“Then shall the man bring his wife unto the priest, and he shall bring her offering for her, the tenth part of an ephah of barley meal; he shall pour no oil upon it, nor put frankincense thereon; for it is an offering of jealousy, an offering of memorial, bringing iniquity to remembrance.”
Numbers 5:15 (KJV)
Commentary on Numbers 5:15
The jealousy offering's requirement that it contain no oil or frankincense (unlike other grain offerings) symbolized the bitter nature of the investigation. Oil represented joy and frankincense represented prayer; their absence indicated this was not a celebratory offering but a solemn trial before God. The meal of barley (rather than wheat) suggested humility or even poverty. This offering 'bringing iniquity to remembrance' shows that sin cannot remain hidden but must be brought to light before God, the righteous Judge.
