Context — The Peace Offering
10and every grain offering, whether dry or mixed with oil, belongs equally to all the sons of Aaron.
11Now this is the law of the peace offering that one may present to the LORD:
12If he offers it in thanksgiving, then along with the sacrifice of thanksgiving he shall offer unleavened cakes mixed with olive oil, unleavened wafers coated with oil, and well-kneaded cakes of fine flour mixed with oil.
13Along with his peace offering of thanksgiving he is to present an offering with cakes of leavened bread. 14From the cakes he must present one portion of each offering as a contribution to the LORD. It belongs to the priest who sprinkles the blood of the peace offering.Cross References

Leviticus 7:12 Summary
This verse is talking about a special kind of sacrifice called a thanksgiving sacrifice, where people would offer cakes and wafers to God as a way of saying thank you. The cakes and wafers had to be made in a specific way, with olive oil, to show that they were pure and simple, just like our gratitude to God should be. This reminds us of the importance of being thankful to God, as seen in 1 Thessalonians 5:18, where we are commanded to give thanks in all circumstances. By following these instructions, we can learn to show our gratitude to God in a way that is pleasing to Him, and to trust in His goodness and provision, as seen in Psalm 107:1.

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Leviticus 7:12

Trapp's Commentary on Leviticus 7:12
Leviticus 7:12 If he offer it for a thanksgiving, then he shall offer with the sacrifice of thanksgiving unleavened cakes mingled with oil, and unleavened wafers anointed with oil, and cakes mingled with oil, of fine flour, fried.Ver. 12. Unleavened cakes.] There must be sincerity in all our services; for else God will not once look at them.
Ellicott's Commentary on Leviticus 7:12
(12) If he offer it for a thanksgiving.—That is, acknowledgment of special mercies received from God, such as deliverance in travels, by land or sea, redemption from captivity, restoration to health, &c., enumerated in Psalms 107. It is to this sacrifice that the apostle alludes when he says, “By him therefore let us offer the sacrifice of praise to God continually.” Then he shall offer with the sacrifice.—That is, with the bullock or cow if it be from the herd, or a lamb or goat if it be from the flock (Leviticus 3:1). Unleavened cakes mingled with oil.—From the fact that no mention is here made of the number of cakes or the quantity of oil, it is evident that this was left to the decision of the administrators of the laws and the spiritual guides of the people. The rule which obtained during the second Temple with regard to this offering was as follows :—The offerer brought twenty tenths or pottles of fine flour; ten of them he made leavened and ten he left unleavened. He made the leavened into ten cakes, and of the ten that were unleavened he made thirty cakes. These thirty unleavened cakes, which were made with half a log of oil, were divided into three tens, and each ten was prepared in a different manner; that is, ten with an eighth of the oil were baked in the oven, ten with another eighth of the oil were made into wafers, and ten with a fourth of the oil were hastily fried. Of the forty cakes the priest received four, one of each sort, thus obtaining a tenth part.
Adam Clarke's Commentary on Leviticus 7:12
Verse 12. If he offer it for a thanksgiving] See the notes at the end of this chapter. See Clarke on Leviticus 7:38.
Cambridge Bible on Leviticus 7:12
12. If the Peace-Offering be for thanksgiving, three kinds of cakes are to be brought with it; the difference between the first and third is not clearly indicated. On the consecration of Aaron and his sons (Exodus 29:2; Exodus 29:23; Leviticus 8:26) three kinds of cakes are ordered to be brought with the ram of consecration; the second and third of these are identical with the first and second of those here prescribed. This is shewn below in tabular form: Leviticus 7:12 Exodus 29:2; Exodus 29:23 and Leviticus 8:26.unleavened bread(1) [49] one unleavened cake,(a) unleavened cakesmingled with oil(2) one cake of oiled bread,(b) unleavened wafersanointed with oil(3) one wafer,(c) fine flour mixed [Into cakes mingled] with oil.of fine wheaten flour shalt thou make them.[49] Exodus 29:23 has ‘one loaf of bread’ but as it is further described as ‘taken out of the basket of unleavened bread’ it is clear that the loaf is unleavened.Now if the three kinds of cakes are the same on both occasions (which seems probable and is the traditional interpretation) then (c) will be equivalent to (1) of Exodus 29 and Leviticus 8. Cp. the offering of the Nazirite (Numbers 6:15; Numbers 6:19). The Heb. word murbeketh (here, Leviticus 6:21 and 1 Chronicles 23:29 only) is rendered ‘soaked’ (‘fried’ A.V.), but probably means that the flour is well stirred together, as is done in making bread or pastry. The words which are in brackets in (c) are not found in the LXX., and it may be that they have been accidentally repeated from (a). The description of (c) does not clearly distinguish it from (a) whether the words be retained in the text or not.
