maka suami itu harus membawa istrinya kepada imam, dan membawa persembahan untuk istrinya itu: sepersepuluh efa tepung jelai. Ia tidak boleh menuangkan minyak ke atasnya dan tidak boleh membubuhkan kemenyan ke atasnya, sebab itu adalah persembahan sajian kecemburuan, persembahan sajian peringatan yang mengingatkan akan kesalahan.

Concerning Noah's Work as a Planter

[108] “Nay, nay,” I would say to them, “no bribes, O foolish ones, can reach God’s tribunal.” He turns His face away from those who approach with guilty intent, even though they lead to His altar a hundred bullocks every day, and accepts the guiltless, although they sacrifice nothing at all. God delights in altars beset by a choir of Virtues, albeit no fire burn on them. He takes no delight in blazing altar fires fed by the unhallowed sacrifices of men to whose hearts sacrifice is unknown. Nay, these sacrifices do but put Him in remembrance of the ignorance and offences of the several offerers; for Moses, as we know, speaks of sacrifice “bringing sin to remembrance” (Num. 5:15).
