And: verses 25-27 make up one long sentence broken only by semicolons in Revised Standard Version. Good News Translation makes three sentences of this material and uses the transition word “Then” at this point in order to demonstrate the continuity of the narration.

The basket of unleavened bread: see verse 2.

Which was before the LORD: this is not intended to give a physical location, but to indicate that the basket of breads without yeast had been dedicated to the LORD. So in many languages it is preferable to translate “which had been dedicated to the LORD.”

Cake … wafer: on the terminology for these baked goods, see 7.12-13 as well as chapter 2.
