Exodus 12:20
"There shall be no yeast found in your houses for seven days, for whoever eats that which is leavened, that soul shall be cut off from the congregation of Israel, whether he is a foreigner, or one who is born in the land."
Key Reflection
The command to remove yeast symbolizes the removal of sin and corruption from the community. Just as yeast leavens dough, sin can spread and infect the whole, so these verses emphasize the importance of purity and separation from impurity for true membership in the covenant community.
