(23) The basket . . . that is before the Lord.--Comp. Exodus 29:3. The objects mentioned formed the "meat offering," which always accompanied a peace offering.

Verse 23. - One cake of oiled bread - i.e., one of the "unleavened cakes tempered with oil," mentioned in ver. 2. Out of the basket of the unleavened bread. See ver. 3.

29:1-37 Aaron and his sons were to be set apart for the priest's office, with ceremony and solemnity. Our Lord Jesus is the great High Priest of our profession, called of God to be so; anointed with the Spirit, whence he is called Messiah, the Christ; clothed with glory and beauty; sanctified by his own blood; made perfect, or consecrated through sufferings, Heb 2:10. All believers are spiritual priests, to offer spiritual sacrifices,And one loaf of bread,.... Of unleavened bread, as in Exodus 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.
