What does Numbers 5:12 mean?

He should bring his wife to the priest, along with an offering of barley flour. He shouldn’t add oil or incense, because it’s an offering for jealousy, a reminder of possible wrongdoing. Numbers 5:12 - Modern Text Bible

(The offering is plain, not celebratory, because it’s about suspicion and possible sin.)
