together with their grain offerings and drink offerings
This phrase highlights the comprehensive nature of the offerings required in the Nazirite vow. The Hebrew word for "grain offerings" is "minchah," which often signifies a gift or tribute to God, emphasizing the worshiper's dedication and gratitude. The "drink offerings," or "nesek" in Hebrew, symbolize the pouring out of one's life in service to God. Historically, these offerings were integral to Israelite worship, representing sustenance and joy, and pointing to the totality of one's devotion.

Include a basket of unleavened bread
The "basket" or "tene" in Hebrew, signifies a container of abundance and provision. "Unleavened bread," or "matzot," is significant in Israelite tradition, symbolizing purity and separation from sin, as leaven often represents corruption. This unleavened bread is reminiscent of the Passover, where haste and purity were paramount, reminding the Nazirite of their call to holiness and separation unto God.

cakes of fine flour mixed with oil
"Cakes" or "challot" in Hebrew, made of "fine flour," or "solet," indicate the best of what one has to offer. The "oil," or "shemen," is a symbol of the Holy Spirit and anointing. This mixture signifies the blending of human effort with divine empowerment, illustrating the believer's reliance on God's Spirit to fulfill their vows and live a life pleasing to Him.

wafers of unleavened bread spread with oil
"Wafers," or "rekikim," are thin and delicate, representing humility and simplicity in one's offering. The act of being "spread with oil" further emphasizes consecration and the presence of the Holy Spirit. In the broader scriptural context, this reflects the believer's call to live a life marked by humility, purity, and the anointing of the Spirit, set apart for God's purposes.

(15) And their meat offering, and their drink offerings.--i.e., the offerings of fine flour and oil and wine which belonged to the burnt-offerings and the peace-offerings (Numbers 15:3, &c.).

Verse 15. - A basket of unleavened bread... anointed with oil. Required for every sacrifice of thanksgiving, as this was (Leviticus 7:12). And their meat offering, and their drink offerings, i.e., the gifts of meal, oil, and wine which belonged to burnt offerings and peace offerings (see below, Numbers 15:3, sqq. ).
