If you bring a grain offering baked in an oven, it is to consist of the finest flour: either thick loaves made without yeast and with olive oil mixed in, or thin loaves made without yeast and brushed with olive oil. The grain offering baked in an oven produces either thick loaves mixed with oil or thin loaves brushed with oil — two forms of the same unleavened, oil-treated offering. The oven-baked form of the grain offering is the most refined preparation: the flour is made into actual bread before being offered. The absence of yeast throughout the grain offering regulations mirrors the Passover requirement and communicates the same theological content: no corruption, no fermentation, no compromise in what is brought before God.
