If he offers it in thanksgiving
The offering of thanksgiving, also known as the peace offering, was a voluntary act of worship expressing gratitude to God. This type of offering is distinct from sin or guilt offerings, which were mandatory. Thanksgiving offerings were a way for the Israelites to acknowledge God's provision and blessings. The concept of thanksgiving is deeply rooted in the Hebrew tradition, as seen in Psalms and other scriptures, where gratitude is a central theme. This offering prefigures the New Testament call to give thanks in all circumstances (1 Thessalonians 5:18).

then along with the sacrifice of thanksgiving
The sacrifice of thanksgiving was part of the peace offerings, which were shared between the altar, the priests, and the offerer. This communal aspect highlights the fellowship between God and His people. The peace offering symbolizes reconciliation and communion, pointing forward to the ultimate reconciliation through Christ, who is our peace (Ephesians 2:14).

he shall offer unleavened cakes mixed with olive oil
Unleavened cakes signify purity and the absence of sin, as leaven often represents sin in the Bible (1 Corinthians 5:6-8). Olive oil, a staple in ancient Israel, symbolizes the Holy Spirit and anointing (1 Samuel 16:13). The mixing of oil with the cakes indicates the presence and work of the Holy Spirit in the life of the believer, foreshadowing the anointing of Christ and the indwelling of the Spirit in the New Covenant.

unleavened wafers coated with oil
The unleavened wafers, like the cakes, emphasize purity and holiness. Coating them with oil further signifies consecration and the work of the Holy Spirit. This imagery is consistent with the anointing of priests and kings in the Old Testament, pointing to Jesus as the Anointed One, the Messiah (Luke 4:18).

and well-kneaded cakes of fine flour mixed with oil
Fine flour represents the best of what one can offer, indicating the quality and sincerity of the worshiper's gift. The well-kneaded nature of the cakes suggests thorough preparation and dedication. Mixing with oil again highlights the role of the Holy Spirit. This offering reflects the believer's call to present themselves as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God (Romans 12:1), and points to Christ, the Bread of Life, who was without sin and fully consecrated to God.

Teaching Points
Gratitude as Worship
The thank offering teaches us that gratitude is a vital part of worship. We should regularly express our thankfulness to God for His blessings and provision.

Purity in Offering
The use of unleavened bread signifies the need for purity in our offerings to God. Our expressions of gratitude should be sincere and free from ulterior motives.

Community and Fellowship
The thank offering was often shared with others, symbolizing community and fellowship. We should seek to share our blessings and gratitude with those around us.

Symbolism of Oil
The oil mixed with the cakes represents the Holy Spirit's presence in our lives. Our gratitude should be Spirit-led and Spirit-filled.

Consistency in Thanksgiving
Just as the Israelites were instructed to offer thank offerings regularly, we should cultivate a consistent attitude of thankfulness in our daily lives.(12) If he offer it for a thanksgiving.--That is, acknowledgment of special mercies received from God, such as deliverance in travels, by land or sea, redemption from captivity, restoration to health, &c., enumerated in Psalms 107. It is to this sacrifice that the apostle alludes when he says, "By him therefore let us offer the sacrifice of praise to God continually."

Then he shall offer with the sacrifice.--That is, with the bullock or cow if it be from the herd, or a lamb or goat if it be from the flock (Leviticus 3:1).

Unleavened cakes mingled with oil.--From the fact that no mention is here made of the number of cakes or the quantity of oil, it is evident that this was left to the decision of the administrators of the laws and the spiritual guides of the people. The rule which obtained during the second Temple with regard to this offering was as follows :--The offerer brought twenty tenths or pottles of fine flour; ten of them he made leavened and ten he left unleavened. He made the leavened into ten cakes, and of the ten that were unleavened he made thirty cakes. These thirty unleavened cakes, which were made with half a log of oil, were divided into three tens, and each ten was prepared in a different manner; that is, ten with an eighth of the oil were baked in the oven, ten with another eighth of the oil were made into wafers, and ten with a fourth of the oil were hastily fried. Of the forty cakes the priest received four, one of each sort, thus obtaining a tenth part.
