Context of Leviticus 7:12
10Every grain offering, whether mixed with olive oil or dry, will be shared equally by all of Aaron’s sons. 11“These are the instructions for the fellowship offering that you must bring to the Lord. If you offer it as a thank offering, you must also bring rings of unleavened bread mixed with olive oil, wafers of unleavened bread brushed with olive oil, and loaves made from flour mixed well with olive oil. 13In addition to these rings of bread, you must bring bread with yeast along with your fellowship offering of thanksgiving. 14From every offering you must bring one loaf to the Lord as a ⌞special⌟ contribution. It will belong to the priest who throws the blood of the fellowship offering.
