Out of the whole oblation - Rather, out of each offering. That is, one loaf or cake out of each kind of meat-offering was to be a heave-offering Lev 7:32 for the officiating priest. According to Jewish tradition, there were to be ten cakes of each kind of bread in every thank-offering. The other cakes were returned to the sacrificer.
This site's exposition
the law of the sacrifice of peace offerings
on Leviticus 7:11-15
The peace offering stood third in the worshipper's list at chapter 3 and stands last in the priest's list here, so the section that opened with the burnt offering closes with the one sacrifice the offerer eats from. A thanksgiving peace offering carries bread with it, and verse 13 requires leavened bread alongside the unleavened cakes, when leaven is the thing put out of every house at passover. The flesh of a thanksgiving offering is eaten the same day and none of it is left until the morning.

Of it - That is, of the offering, one of each part of the whole: it being most agreeable to the rules laid down before and afterward, that the priest should have a share in the unleavened cakes and wafers, as well as in the leavened bread.

this is the law of the sacrifice of peace offerings--Besides the usual accompaniments of other sacrifices, leavened bread was offered with the peace offerings, as a thanksgiving, such bread being common at feasts.

How the passage was read
What the Jewish commentators add
AND OF IT HE SHALL PRESENT ONE OUT OF EACH OFFERING — one whole cake [for a heave-offering unto the Eternal ]. Thus he takes as a heave-offering four cakes [and gives them to the priest]. But I wonder!
This section is reception history: how the passage was read and kept in the Jewish tradition. Where a reading parts from an essential of the Christian faith, the section says so at that point.
