Leviticus 23:6 Meaning and Commentary

Leviticus 23:6

And on the fifteenth day of the same month [is] the feast of
unleavened bread unto the Lord
Which was the day the children of Israel went out of Egypt with their dough and leaven, having not time to leaven it; in remembrance of which this feast was appointed: seven days ye must eat unleavened bread;
see ( Exodus 12:15 Exodus 12:18-20 ) .

Leviticus 23:6 In-Context

4 These be the holy fairs, either solemnities, of the Lord, which ye ought to hallow in their times. (These be the Feasts, or the Festivals, to honour the Lord, yea, the holy gatherings, which ye ought to proclaim at their proper time.
5 In the first month, in the fourteenth day of the month, at eventide, is [the] pask of the Lord; (In the first month, on the fourteenth day of the month, in the evening, is the Lord's Passover;)
6 and in the fifteenth day of this month is the solemnity of therf loaves of the Lord; seven days ye shall eat therf loaves; (and on the fifteenth day of this month is the Feast of Unleavened Bread to honour the Lord; for seven days ye shall eat unleavened bread, that is, bread made without yeast;)
7 the first day shall be most solemn and holy to you; ye shall not do any servile work therein, (on the first day there shall be a holy gathering; ye shall not do any daily work on it,)
8 but ye shall offer sacrifice in fire to the Lord seven days; soothly the seventh day shall be more solemn and holier, and ye shall not do any servile work therein. (but for seven days ye shall offer burnt sacrifices to the Lord; and on the seventh day there shall be another holy gathering, and ye shall not do any daily work on it.)
