If he offers it in thanksgiving
The Hebrew word for "thanksgiving" is "תּוֹדָה" (todah), which is derived from the root "יָדָה" (yadah), meaning to give thanks or praise. This offering is a voluntary expression of gratitude towards God, acknowledging His provision and blessings. In the ancient Israelite context, thanksgiving offerings were a vital part of worship, reflecting a heart of gratitude and a recognition of God's sovereignty and goodness.

then along with the sacrifice of thanksgiving
The "sacrifice of thanksgiving" is a subset of the peace offerings, known as "שֶׁלֶם" (shelem), which were communal meals shared between the offerer, the priests, and God. This sacrifice symbolizes reconciliation and fellowship with God, emphasizing the communal and relational aspects of worship. Historically, these offerings were a way for the Israelites to maintain a covenant relationship with God, celebrating His faithfulness and mercy.

he shall offer unleavened cakes mixed with oil
"Unleavened cakes" or "מַצּוֹת" (matsot) are bread made without yeast, symbolizing purity and separation from sin. The use of "oil" (שֶׁמֶן, shemen) in the cakes signifies the presence and anointing of the Holy Spirit. In the biblical narrative, oil is often associated with consecration and sanctification, setting apart the offering as holy unto the Lord.

unleavened wafers anointed with oil
"Wafers" or "רְקִיקִים" (rekikim) are thin cakes, also unleavened, emphasizing the purity required in offerings to God. The act of anointing with oil further consecrates these wafers, symbolizing the infusion of divine grace and favor. This practice reflects the importance of approaching God with a heart and offering that are pure and set apart for His purposes.

and cakes of fine flour well-kneaded and mixed with oil
The "cakes of fine flour" or "חַלּוֹת" (challot) represent the best of human labor and resources, offered to God in gratitude. "Fine flour" (סֹלֶת, solet) indicates the highest quality, suggesting that offerings to God should be of the best we have. The process of being "well-kneaded and mixed with oil" signifies thorough preparation and dedication, illustrating the care and devotion required in worship. This meticulous preparation reflects a heart fully engaged in honoring God, acknowledging His provision and grace in every aspect of life.

(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.
