The Bread of Purity: A Call to Spiritual Cleanliness
"Seven days shall ye eat unleavened bread; even the first day ye shall put away leaven out of your houses: for whosoever eateth leavened bread from the first day until the seventh day, that soul shall be cut off from Israel." - Exodus 12:15

In Exodus 12:15, we find a powerful directive given to the children of Israel during a pivotal moment of their history, a moment that is intimately tied to their liberation from slavery in Egypt. The verse states, "Seven days shall ye eat unleavened bread; even the first day ye shall put away leaven out of your houses: for whosoever eateth leavened bread from the first day until the seventh day, that soul shall be cut off from Israel." (KJV) This instruction was part of the institution of the Feast of Unleavened Bread, an essential aspect of the Passover celebration. To fully grasp the significance of this command, we must dive deeper into the underpinning principles of purity, remembrance, and the spiritual implications of leaven.
