“If he offer it for a thanksgiving, then he shall offer with the sacrifice of thanksgiving unleavened cakes mingled with oil, and unleavened wafers anointed with oil, and cakes mingled with oil, of fine flour, fried.”
If they offer it as an expression of thankfulness, then along with this thank offering they are to offer thick loaves made without yeast and with olive oil mixed in, thin loaves made without yeast and brushed with olive oil, and thick loaves of the finest flour well-kneaded and with oil mixed in. The thank offering — todah — is the fellowship offering brought in response to God's specific act of deliverance or blessing. The thank offering requires an elaborate grain accompaniment: three types of unleavened bread made with oil in different ways. Psalm 50:14 says offer God a sacrifice of thanksgiving — the todah of Leviticus 7:12 is the liturgical institution behind the psalms of thanksgiving that fill the Psalter.
