Commentary for Keritot 47:21

הרי היא כמנחת קנאות דתניא

And why does not R'Johanan compare it to the meal-offering of jealousy? - They are not comparable [one to another]; the meal-offering of jealousy is not offered for atonement but to ascertain her guilt; the suspensive guilt-offering, however, is offered for atonement, and since [we assume] that his conscience troubled him he resolved to dedicate it absolutely.
