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).
