Seven days shalt thou eat unleavened bread The Jews
FOOTNOTES:
F25 gather from this place, and from ( Deuteronomy 16:8 ) , that the obligation to eat unleavened bread lasted no longer than the first night of the seven days, but on the rest it was enough if they abstained from leavened bread, and it was lawful for them to eat of other food as they pleased, (See Gill on Exodus 12:15), but the words are very express in both places, and so in the following verse, for eating unleavened bread, as well as abstaining from leavened; and, indeed, otherwise it would not be so clear and plain a commemoration of their case and circumstances, in which they were when they came out of Egypt; this bread of affliction, as it is called, ( Deuteronomy 16:3 ) being what would put them in mind thereof: and in the seventh day shall be a feast to the Lord; an holy convocation, in which no work was to be done, except what was necessary for preparing food to eat, see ( Exodus 12:16 ) .

Y cuando el SEÑOR te hubiere metido en la tierra del cananeo, y del heteo, y del amorreo, y del heveo, y del jebuseo, la cual juró a tus padres que te daría, tierra que destila leche y miel, harás este servicio en este mes.

Siete días comerás por leudar, y el séptimo día será fiesta al SEÑOR.

Por los siete días se comerán los panes sin levadura; y no se verá contigo nada leudado, ni levadura en todo tu término.

Y contarás en aquel día a tu hijo, diciendo: Se hace esto con motivo de lo que el SEÑOR hizo conmigo cuando me sacó de Egipto.
