Context of Leviticus 2:8

6He must break the cake into pieces. He must pour oil on it. It is a gift to God. 7A person must use flour and oil to cook the cake in a pot. He must give the cake to the priest. The priest will take it to the altar. 9He will take a piece of it and he will burn it in the fire. It is a gift to the Lord. The smell of it while it is burning will give the Lord pleasure. 10The part of the cake that he did not burn is for the priests. That is because it is most holy, part of a burnt offering to the Lord.

• Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 4-10Verses 4-10 The four kinds of bread and the three cooking utensils which are mentioned in this section were probably such as were in common use in the daily life of the Israelites; and there appears no reason to doubt that they were such as are still used in the East.

The grain offering provided bread for the priest's daily needs, as priests did not have farmland.Read the comment
• Jamieson–Fausset–Brown Commentary · v. 1-161. when any will offer a meat offering--or gift--distinguishing a bloodless from a bloody sacrifice.
