Exodus 13:4

"Moses said to the people, “Remember this day, in which you came out of Egypt, out of the house of bondage; for by strength of hand the LORD brought you out from this place. No leavened bread shall be eaten."

Key Reflection

This verse emphasizes the importance of remembering the Exodus as a symbol of liberation from sin and slavery. By abstaining from leavened bread, the Israelites were reminded of their need for spiritual purity and the power of God in delivering them from bondage.

From the Scholars: Barnes' Notes

Abib -April. CompareExodus 12:2. It is uncertain whether this name was ancient or given then for the first time. It is found only in the Pentateuch, six times as the name of the first month, twice in the sense of young wheat, hence its etymology, namely, the month when the wheat began to ripen. The name resembles the Egyptian Epiphi, and may possibly have been derived from it.
