And one loaf of bread, etc.] Of unleavened bread, as in (<022902>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.
