Leviticus 23:7

Key Reflection

In Leviticus 23:7, God instructs the Israelites that the Feast of Unleavened Bread begins on the fifteenth day of the first month (Nisan), marking a significant period during which they must eat unleavened bread for seven days. This command underscores the importance of this feast as it commemorates their exodus from Egypt, where haste was necessary to leave before leaven could be fully prepared. The act of eating unleavened bread symbolizes purity and remembrance, reflecting both historical and spiritual truths about God’s deliverance and ongoing covenant with His people.
