Use the finest wheat flour, but no yeast, and bake some loaves of bread, some rings of bread made with olive oil, and some wafers brushed with olive oil. 3Put the bread in a basket, and bring the basket along with the young bull and the two rams. 4“Then bring Aaron and his sons to the entrance of the tent of meeting, and wash them.

Commentaries on Exodus 29:2

• Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 2Unleavened bread - Three kinds of bread as to its form are mentioned here, but all unleavened: מצות matstsoth, unleavened bread, no matter in what shape.
