- her offering for her:
- This coarse offering, without oil or frankincense, implied the baseness of the crime of which the woman was suspected, and the mournful state of her family. It was not an atoning sacrifice, but an oblation for a memorial, as solemnly referring the decision to God, and calling upon him either to acquit or punish. "But if¹ he² be not¹ able to bringª°¹ twoª turtledoves,ª or¹ twoª youngª pigeons,ª then he that¹ sinnedª° shall bringª°¹ for his offeringª the tenth² part¹ of an ephahª of fine flourª for a sin offering;ª he shall putª° no¹ oilª upon¹ it, neither¹ shall he putª° [any] frankincenseª thereon:¹ for¹ it¹ [is] a sin offering.ª" {Lev 5:11} + "So I boughtª° her to me for fifteenªª [pieces] of silver,ª and [for] an homerª of barley,ª and an half homerª of barley:ª" {Hsa 3:2}
