Several Hebrew words are used for 'cakes,' and they are often said to be mingled with oil. Those presented as a meat offering were to be unleavened, as typifying the Lord Jesus in His perfect humanity begotten of the Holy Spirit. Le 2:4; 7:12; etc. Ephraim (that is Israel) is compared to 'a cake not turned,' Ho 7:8, as unpalatable, like the lukewarm, 'neither hot nor cold,' of Re 3:16.
'Now when you bring an offering of a grain offering baked in an oven, it shall be unleavened cakes of fine flour mixed with oil, or unleavened wafers spread with oil.
'If he offers it by way of thanksgiving, then along with the sacrifice of thanksgiving he shall offer unleavened cakes mixed with oil, and unleavened wafers spread with oil, and cakes of well stirred fine flour mixed with oil.
Ephraim mixes himself with the nations; Ephraim has become a cake not turned.
'So because you are lukewarm, and neither hot nor cold, I will spit you out of My mouth.
