John Gill Bible Commentary

And he shall offer the ram for a sacrifice of peace offerings unto the Lord,.... After he had offered the other two: with the basket of unleavened bread; which went along with that: the priest shall also offer his meat offering, and his drink offering: of which he had his part, and were the usual appendages of other sacrifices; see Num 28:1.
