Concise Bible Dictionary:
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. 2:4; Lev. 7:12). Ephraim (that is Israel) is compared to “a cake not turned” (Hos. 7:8), as unpalatable, like the lukewarm, “neither hot nor cold,” of Revelation 3:16.
