Exodus 12:19

"In the first month, on the fourteenth day of the month at evening, you shall eat unleavened bread, until the twenty first day of the month at evening."

Key Reflection

This commandment symbolizes the removal of sin and corruption from one's life, as "unleavened bread" represents sincerity and purity. The extended period of eating unleavened bread, spanning seven weeks, emphasizes the ongoing nature of this spiritual transformation and the commitment required to remain faithful.

From the Scholars: Barnes' Notes

Born in the land -A stranger or foreigner might be born in the land, but the word here used means “a native of the land,” belonging to the country by virtue of descent, that descent being reckoned from Abraham, to whom Canaan was promised as a perpetual inheritance.
