Exegetical and Hermeneutical Commentary of Exodus 29:23
And one loaf of bread, and one cake of oiled bread, and one wafer out of the basket of the unleavened bread that [is] before the LORD:
23. a loaf ] a round ( kikkr) corresponding to the ‘bread of unleavened cakes ’ of v. 2. A circular flat ‘cake’ is meant, not what we should call a ‘loaf.’ For cake read perforated cake, as v. 2.
the basket ( v. 3) of unleavened cakes that is before Jehovah ] i.e. at the entrance of the Tent of meeting ( v. 32; cf. Lev 8:3).

Verse 23. And one loaf of bread] The bread of different kinds, (See Clarke on Ex 29:2,) in this offering, seems to have been intended as a minchah, or offering of grateful acknowledgment for providential blessings. The essence of worship consisted in acknowledging God,
1. As the Creator, Governor, and Preserver of all things, and the Dispenser of every good and perfect gift.
2. As the Judge of men, the Punisher of sin, and he who alone could pardon it.
The minchahs, heave-offerings, wave-offerings, and thank-offerings, referred to the first point. The burnt-offerings, sin-offerings, and sacrifices in general, referred to the second.

And one loaf of bread,…. Of unleavened bread, as in
Ex 29:2 large bread is meant, as Ben Melech observes, for the rest were cakes and wafers, as follows:
and one cake of oiled bread; which was made of flour and oil mixed and tempered together:
and one wafer out of the basket of unleavened bread; which was anointed with oil and crossed, as the Jewish writers say:
that [is] before the Lord; which basket of unleavened bread, cakes, and wafers, was set in the court of the tabernacle, and so said to be before the Lord, being devoted to whatever use he should assign them, being by his orders brought thither.

Exo 29:23. And one loaf of bread The words, for it is a ram of consecration, in the former verse, should be read in a parenthesis, and then there will be no occasion for that transposition which Le Clerc thinks necessary, who would connect this with the 18th verse; for these parts of the second ram, with the bread and cake, &c. were to be put into the hands of Aaron and his sons, to initiate them, as it were, into their office, and to confirm them in the right of sacrificing: accordingly, with a view to this, they were to wave the offerings before the Lord, after which the consecrator was to receive them from their hands, and burn them upon the altar.
