“And of it he shall offer one out of the whole oblation for an heave offering unto the Lord, and it shall be the priest’s that sprinkleth the blood of the peace offerings.”
They are to bring one of each kind as an offering, a contribution to the Lord; it belongs to the priest who splashes the blood of the fellowship offering. One loaf from each type — one from the unleavened kinds and one from the leavened — is presented as a contribution to the Lord and then given to the officiating priest. The selection of one representative loaf from each type is the grain offering equivalent of the memorial portion: the representative sample is given first to God through the priest, and the remainder becomes part of the shared meal. The thank offering's bread, like the fat portions of its animal, is distributed: a portion to God's representative and the rest to the community.
