5 notes on this verse
And a basket of unleavened bread,.... As at the consecration of Aaron and his sons, Exo 29:2; though for peace offerings for thanksgiving leavened bread was offered, Lev 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 Exo 29:9, and their meat offering and their drink offering; which always used to attend every sacrifice.

This site's exposition

this is the law of the Nazirite

on Numbers 6:13-15

The vow closes at “the entrance to the Tent of Meeting”, with three unblemished animals and a basket of unleavened cakes and wafers. John Gill points out that the basket matches Aaron’s consecration at Exodus 29:2. The man ending this vow brings what a priest brought at ordination.

This site's exposition

a basket of unleavened cakes

John Gill sets this basket beside Leviticus 7:13, where a thanksgiving peace offering came with leavened bread as well. The Nazirite's basket was entirely unleavened. Gill reports Jarchi's count of ten cakes and ten wafers.
