With cakes of leavened bread he shall offer his oblation The cakes described in Leviticus 7:12 form the oblation; besides these he is to bring leavened cakes, which are not intended for the altar (see Leviticus 2:11) but are similar in character to the offering mentioned in Leviticus 2:12. According to Amos 4:5, leaven was brought with a thanksgiving offering, and the two wave loaves offered at the Feast of Weeks (Leviticus 23:17) were -baken with leaven." If -with" (i.e. the first -alof Leviticus 7:13 in the passage from Wellh. quoted above), be omitted, then the rendering would be - cakes of leavened bread shall he bring as his oblation in addition to the sacrifice of his peace offerings for thanksgiving," and -his oblation" would then refer to the leavened cakes of Leviticus 7:13. The same reference is made in the rendering of A.V., but it is doubtful whether -besides the cakes" can be taken as a translation of the existing Mass. text.
