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 (Lev. 2:4⁴And if thou bring an oblation of a meat offering baken in the oven, it shall be unleavened cakes of fine flour mingled with oil, or unleavened wafers anointed with oil. (Leviticus 2:4); Lev. 7:12¹²If 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. (Leviticus 7:12)). Ephraim (that is Israel) is compared to “a cake not turned” (Hos. 7:8⁸Ephraim, he hath mixed himself among the people; Ephraim is a cake not turned. (Hosea 7:8)), as unpalatable, like the lukewarm, “neither hot nor cold,” of Revelation 3:16¹⁶So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth. (Revelation 3:16).
