Thanksgiving in a Loaf
Commentators explain that the two leavened loaves were a special offering at the Feast of Weeks (Pentecost) to thank God for the completed wheat harvest. Made from the finest new flour from within Israel, they represented giving back the best of God's provision in the form most useful for daily life—bread. This act acknowledged God as the source of all blessings and sanctified the entire harvest.
