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 As the sacrifice for the Passover to the Lord your God, offer an animal from your flock or herd at the place the Lord will choose to be worshiped.

3 Do not eat it with bread made with yeast. But for seven days eat bread made without yeast, the bread of suffering, because you left Egypt in a hurry. So all your life you will remember the time you left Egypt.

4 There must be no yeast anywhere in your land for seven days. Offer the sacrifice on the evening of the first day, and eat all the meat before morning; do not leave it overnight.

5 Do not offer the Passover sacrifice in just any town the Lord your God gives you,

6 but offer it in the place he will choose to be worshiped. Offer it in the evening as the sun goes down, which is when you left Egypt.
