Contextual Overview

1 And Jehovah said to Moses and to Aaron in the land of Egypt, saying, 2 This month shall be the chief of months for you. It shall be the first of the months of the year for you. 3 Speak to all the congregation of Israel, saying, On the tenth of this month, they shall each take for themselves an animal of the flock for a father's house, a flock animal for a house. 4 And if the house is too small for a flock animal, he and his neighbor next to his house shall take according to the number of souls, each one according to the mouth of his eating, you shall count concerning the flock animal. 5 A flock animal, a male without blemish, a yearling, shall be to you. You shall take from the sheep or from the goats. 6 And it shall be for you to keep until the fourteenth day of this month. And all the assembly of the congregation of Israel shall kill it between the evenings. 7 And they shall take from the blood, and put it on the two side doorposts and on the upper doorpost, on the houses in which they eat it. 8 And they shall eat the flesh in this night, roasted with fire, and they shall eat it with unleavened bread and bitter herbs. 9 Do not eat it raw, or at all boiled in water, but roasted with fire; its head with its legs and with its inward parts. 10 And you shall not leave any of it until morning. And you shall burn with fire that left from it until morning.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Ye shall eat nothing leavened,.... Bread or anything else that had any leaven in it:

in all your habitations shall ye eat unleavened bread, that is, if they eat any bread at all, it must be such; otherwise they might eat cakes of almonds or of eggs mixed with sugar, provided there was no leaven used, and this the Jews call the rich unleavened bread p: this is repeated over and over, that they might be the more careful of observing this precept; but as this was limited for a certain time, it plainly appears to be a mistake of Tacitus q the Roman historian, who represents unleavened bread as the bread the Jews eat of in common.

p See Leo Modena's History of the Rites, &c. of the Jews, par. 3. c. 3. sect. 5. q Hist. l. 5. c. 4.
