Exodus 23:16

"You shall observe the feast of unleavened bread. Seven days you shall eat unleavened bread, as I commanded you, at the time appointed in the month Abib (for in it you came out of Egypt), and no one shall appear before me empty."

Key Reflection

This commandment symbolizes the Israelites' commitment to remembering their deliverance from Egypt by abstaining from leaven, which represents sin or corruption. Eating unleavened bread for seven days signifies purification and readiness before God, mirroring the need for spiritual purity in the presence of the divine.
