Contextual Overview

1 The Lord said to Moses, 2 "Dedicate to me the first-born son of every family and the first-born males of your flocks and herds. These belong to me." 3Moses said to the people: Remember this day in the month of Abib. It is the day when the Lord 's mighty power rescued you from Egypt, where you were slaves. Do not eat anything made with yeast. 5 The Lord promised your ancestors that he would bring you into the land of the Canaanites, Hittites, Amorites, Hivites, and Jebusites. It is a land rich with milk and honey. Each year during the month of Abib, celebrate these events in the following way: 6 For seven days you are to eat bread made without yeast, and on the seventh day you are to celebrate a festival in honor of the Lord . 7 During those seven days, you must not eat anything made with yeast or even have yeast anywhere near your homes. 8 Then on the seventh day you must explain to your children that you do this because the Lord brought you out of Egypt. 9 This celebration will be like wearing a sign on your hand or on your forehead, because then you will pass on to others the teaching of the Lord , whose mighty power brought you out of Egypt. 10 Celebrate this festival each year at the same time.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Seven days shalt thou eat unleavened bread,.... The Jews y 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, Deuteronomy 16:8- :, 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 In Siphre apud Manasseh Ben lsrael. Conciliat. in loc.
