And from the basket of unleavened bread
The "basket of unleavened bread" signifies purity and separation from sin, as leaven often symbolizes sin in the Bible. The Hebrew word for unleavened, "matzot," emphasizes the absence of fermentation, which in a spiritual sense, represents the absence of corruption. This basket, placed before the LORD, indicates that the offerings are made in the presence of God, highlighting the sacredness of the act.

that was before the LORD
The phrase "before the LORD" underscores the direct accountability and worship directed towards God. In the Hebrew context, being "before the LORD" implies a state of reverence and submission. This setting is not just physical but spiritual, indicating that the offerings are made with a heart of devotion and obedience.

he took one unleavened cake
The "unleavened cake" is a specific type of offering, known in Hebrew as "challah matzah." This represents the sustenance provided by God, free from the corruption of sin. The act of taking one cake signifies a portion set apart for a holy purpose, reflecting the idea of consecration and dedication to God.

one cake of oiled bread
The "cake of oiled bread" involves the use of oil, which in biblical terms often symbolizes the Holy Spirit and anointing. The Hebrew word "shemen" for oil indicates richness and blessing. This cake, therefore, represents the anointing and empowerment by the Spirit, essential for the priestly service.

and one wafer
The "wafer," or "rakik" in Hebrew, is a thin, flat bread, symbolizing humility and simplicity. Its inclusion in the offering highlights the need for humility in service to God. The wafer's simplicity contrasts with the richness of the oiled bread, showing that both humility and anointing are necessary in the life of a believer.

and placed them on the fat portions
The "fat portions" were considered the best parts of the sacrifice, reserved for God. In Hebrew, "chelev" refers to the choicest parts, symbolizing the offering of our best to God. Placing the bread on the fat portions signifies the integration of sustenance and sacrifice, indicating that our daily lives and spiritual offerings should be intertwined.

and on the right thigh
The "right thigh" was a significant part of the sacrificial animal, symbolizing strength and honor. In Hebrew culture, the right side often represents power and authority. By placing the bread on the right thigh, it signifies the strength and support that comes from God, as well as the honor given to Him through the offering. This act demonstrates the acknowledgment of God's sovereignty and the dedication of one's strength to His service.

(26-28) And out of the basket.-The description in these three verses of the rites performed at the sacrifice of consecration is exactly in accordance with the orders given in Exodus 29:23-25. The right shoulder, and one cake of each of the three unleavened kinds, which formed the officiating priests' share of the sacrifices (see Leviticus 7:12; Leviticus 7:32), and which were ordinarily eaten by them and their families, Moses on this occasion burned upon the altar, after being placed in the hands of Aaron and his sons, and waved before the Lord.
