Numbers 6:15 Meaning and Commentary

Numbers 6:15

And a basket of unleavened bread
As at the consecration of Aaron and his sons, ( Exodus 29:2 ) ; though for peace offerings for thanksgiving leavened bread was offered, ( Leviticus 7:13 ) ;

cakes of fine flour mingled with oil, and wafers of unleavened bread
anointed with oil;
ten of each sort, as Jarchi says, ten cakes and ten wafers, see ( Exodus 29:9 ) ( Leviticus 7:12 ) ;

and their meat offering and their drink offering;
which always used to attend every sacrifice.

Numbers 6:15 In-Context

13 "This is the law of the Nazirite: On the day his time of consecration is completed, he must be brought to the entrance to the tent of meeting.
14 He is to present an offering to the Lord of one unblemished year-old male lamb as a burnt offering, one unblemished year-old female lamb as a sin offering, one unblemished ram as a fellowship offering,
15 along with their grain offerings and drink offerings, and a basket of unleavened cakes made from fine flour mixed with oil, and unleavened wafers coated with oil.
16 "The priest is to present [these] before the Lord and sacrifice the Nazirite's sin offering and burnt offering.
17 He will also offer the ram as a fellowship sacrifice to the Lord, together with the basket of unleavened bread. Then the priest will offer the accompanying grain offering and drink offering.
