Deuteronomy 16:4 Meaning and Commentary

Deuteronomy 16:4

And there shall be no leavened bread seen with thee in all thy
coasts seven days
For before the passover they were to search diligently every room in the house, and every hole and crevice, that none might remain any where; see ( Exodus 12:15 Exodus 12:19 ) ( 13:7 ) ,

neither shall there be anything of the flesh, which thou sacrificedst
the first day at even, remain all night until the morning;
which may be understood both of the flesh of the passover lamb, as Aben Ezra, according to ( Exodus 12:10 ) and of the flesh of flocks and herds, or of the Chagigah; according to Jarchi this Scripture speaks of the Chagigah of the fourteenth, which was not to remain on the first day of the feast (the fifteenth) until the morning of the second day (the sixteenth).

Deuteronomy 16:4 In-Context

2 Sacrifice an animal from your flock or herd. It is the Passover sacrifice in honor of the LORD your God. Sacrifice it at the special place the LORD will choose. He will put his Name there.

3 Don't eat the animal along with bread that is made with yeast. Instead, for seven days eat bread that is made without yeast. It's the bread that reminds you of how much you suffered. Remember that you left Egypt in a hurry. Remember it all the days of your life. Don't forget the day you left Egypt.

4 Don't keep any yeast anywhere in your land for seven days. Don't let any of the meat you sacrifice on the evening of the first day be left over until the next morning.

5 You must not sacrifice the Passover animal in any town the LORD your God is giving you.

6 Sacrifice it only in the special place he will choose for his Name. Sacrifice it there in the evening when the sun goes down. Do it on the same day every year. Be sure it's the day you left Egypt.
