Commentary
4 notes on this verseAnd out of the basket of unleavened bread,.... Moses was ordered to take, Lev 8:2, that was before the Lord; being brought to the tabernacle, where now the Lord had taken up his residence: he took one unleavened cake; which had no oil in it or upon it: and a cake of oiled bread; which was mixed and tempered with oil: and one wafer; which was anointed with oil: and put them upon the fat, and upon the right shoulder; of the ram of consecration, which he took from it, and laid the cakes uppermost upon them.
This site's exposition
And Moses took the fat
on Leviticus 8:25-28
The fat portions and the right thigh are put in the hands of Aaron and his sons. Then Moses took these from their hands and burned them, so the first thing a priest holds in office is what he gives away.
This site's exposition
one cake of unleavened bread, one cake of bread made with oil, and one wafer
Three breads are taken from the basket named at verse 2, one of each kind. John Gill distinguishes them as a cake without oil, a cake mixed with oil, and a wafer spread with oil.

After the sin offering and burnt offering had been presented on their behalf, this was their peace offering, by which they declared the pleasure which they felt in entering upon the service of God and being brought into close communion with Him as the ministers of His sanctuary, together with their confident reliance on His grace to help them in all their sacred duties.
