[The husband] brings her meal-offering in a basket of palm-twigs and places it upon her hands in order to weary her. With all other meal-offerings, the beginning and end of their [sacrifice] are in ministering vessels; but with this, its beginning is in a basket of palm-twigs and its end in a ministering vessel. All other meal-offerings require oil and frankincense, but this requires neither oil nor frankincense. All other meal-offerings consist of wheat, but this consists of barley. The meal-offering of the `Omer, although consisting of barley, was in the form of groats; but this was in the form of coarse flour. Rabban Gamaliel says: as her actions were the actions of an animal, so her offering [consisted of] animal`s fodder. |

[The priest] takes an earthenware bowl and pours half a log of water into it from the laver. R. Judah says: a quarter [of a log] just as [R. Judah] reduces the amount of writing, so he reduces the quantity of water. [The priest] enters the Temple and turns right. There was a place there a cubit square in extent with a marble tablet, to which a ring was attached. He lifts this out, takes some dust from beneath it which he puts [into the bowl] just sufficient to be visible above the water; as it is said, and of the dust that is on the floor of the Tabernacle the priest shall take, and put it into the water. |
