Barnes' Notes
A bullock ... two rams ... a basket - compare Exodus 29:1-3. This shows the coherence of this part of Leviticus with the latter part of Exodus. The basket of unleavened bread used on this occasion appears to have contained:
(1) cakes or loaves of the ordinary unleavened bread;
(2) cakes of oiled bread, rather, oil bread (see Leviticus 2:1, Leviticus 2:4); and
(3) oiled wafers (see Leviticus 2:4, Leviticus 2:6).
Rabbinical tradition says that there were six cakes of each sort.
