Context — The Peace Offering
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. 15The meat of the sacrifice of his peace offering of thanksgiving must be eaten on the day he offers it; none of it may be left until morning.Cross References

Leviticus 7:13 Summary
[Leviticus 7:13 talks about bringing cakes of leavened bread as part of a peace offering to thank God. This shows that even in our everyday lives, we can give thanks to God for who He is and what He does for us, just like the Psalmist in Psalm 107:1. It's a reminder that our thanksgiving can be simple and sincere, using the ordinary things in life to express our gratitude. By doing so, we follow the example of the Israelites, who used various offerings, including the peace offering of thanksgiving, to honor God and celebrate His goodness, as seen in Deuteronomy 26:1-11.]

Gill's Exposition on Leviticus 7:13
Besides the cakes,.... The unleavened cakes, and the unleavened wafers, and the fried cakes; or with these, as Aben Ezra and Abendana interpret it: he shall offer for his offering leavened bread,
Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Leviticus 7:13
And this is the law of the sacrifice of peace offerings, which he shall offer unto the LORD. This is the law of the sacrifice of peace offerings.
Matthew Poole's Commentary on Leviticus 7:13
Leavened bread; partly, because this was a sacrifice of another kind than those in which leaven was forbidden, this being a sacrifice of thanksgiving for God’ s blessings, among which leavened bread was one; partly, to show that leaven was not so strictly forbidden in other sacrifices, as if it were evil in itself, but to teach us wholly to rest in the will of God in all his appointments, without too scrupulous an inquiry into the particular reasons of them. Object. Leaven was universally forbidden, . Answ. 1. That prohibition concerned only things offered and burnt upon the altar, which this bread was not, but it was offered only towards the priest’ s food. 2. That was another kind of sacrifice, and therefore it is no wonder if it had other rites. 3. That leaven was not universally forbidden appears from . With the sacrifice of thanksgiving of his peace-offerings, or, with the sacrifice of thanksgiving for his peace or prosperity.
Trapp's Commentary on Leviticus 7:13
Leviticus 7:13 Besides the cakes, he shall offer [for] his offering leavened bread with the sacrifice of thanksgiving of his peace offerings.Ver. 13. Leavened bread.] Lo, leavened bread will pass in a peace offering: God for Christ’ s sake rejects not the services of his saints, though tainted with corruption. Peccata nobis non nocent, si non placent. Wine is not thrown away for the dregs, nor gold for the dirt that cleaves unto it. August.
Ellicott's Commentary on Leviticus 7:13
(13) Besides the cakes.—That is, the thirty un leavened cakes which were made of half of the quantity of the flour brought by the offerer, as described in the previous verse, the ten leavened cakes made of the other half of the flour are to be brought. These had all to be baked before the victim was slaughtered. The only other occasion when leavened bread formed part of the offering was on Pentecost (Leviticus 23:17); but no portion of it was burnt on the altar as a memorial, for leaven was forbidden to be on the altar. (See Leviticus 2:11-12.)
Cambridge Bible on Leviticus 7:13
13. With cakes of leavened bread he shall offer his oblation] The cakes described in Leviticus 7:12 form the oblation; besides these he is to bring leavened cakes, which are not intended for the altar (see Leviticus 2:11) but are similar in character to the offering mentioned in Leviticus 2:12. According to Amos 4:5, leaven was brought with a thanksgiving offering, and the two wave loaves offered at the Feast of Weeks (Leviticus 23:17) were ‘baken with leaven.’ If ‘with’ (i.e. the first ‘al of Lev 7:13 in the passage from Wellh. quoted above), be omitted, then the rendering would be ‘cakes of leavened bread shall he bring as his oblation in addition to the sacrifice of his peace offerings for thanksgiving,’ and ‘his oblation’ would then refer to the leavened cakes of Lev 7:13. The same reference is made in the rendering of A.V., but it is doubtful whether ‘besides the cakes’ can be taken as a translation of the existing Mass. text.
Barnes' Notes on Leviticus 7:13
For his offering - The leavened bread was a distinct offering.
Whedon's Commentary on Leviticus 7:13
13. He shall offer… leavened bread — This requirement does not conflict with the prohibition of leaven in Leviticus 2:11, because it is not burned, but eaten in a joyful banquet where it is proper to gratify the palate.
