Leviticus 7:12

If the Peace-Offering be for thanksgiving, three kinds of cakes are to be brought with it; the difference between the first and third is not clearly indicated. On the consecration of Aaron and his sons (Exodus 29:2; Exodus 29:23; Leviticus 8:26) three kinds of cakes are ordered to be brought with the ram of consecration; the second and third of these are identical with the first and second of those here prescribed. This is shewn below in tabular form:

Leviticus 7:12 Exodus 29:2; Exodus 29:23 and Leviticus 8:26. unleavened bread (1) [49] one unleavened cake, (a) unleavened cakes mingled with oil (2) one cake of oiled bread, (b) unleavened wafers anointed with oil (3) one wafer, (c) fine flour mixed [Into cakes mingled] with oil. of fine wheaten flour shalt thou make them. [49] Exodus 29:23 has -one loaf of bread" but as it is further described as -taken out of the basket of unleavenedbread" it is clear that the loaf is unleavened.

Now if the three kinds of cakes are the same on both occasions (which seems probable and is the traditional interpretation) then (c) will be equivalent to (1) of Exodus 29 and Leviticus 8. Cp. the offering of the Nazirite (Numbers 6:15; Numbers 6:19).

The Heb. word murbeketh(here, Leviticus 6:21 and 1 Chronicles 23:29 only) is rendered - soaked" (- fried" A.V.), but probably means that the flour is well stirred together, as is done in making bread or pastry. The words which are in brackets in (c) are not found in the LXX., and it may be that they have been accidentally repeated from (a). The description of (c) does not clearly distinguish it from (a) whether the words be retained in the text or not.
