Bread, Unleavened

 
This feast is inseparably connected with the Passover that preceded it (Lev. 23), and lasted seven days. As the latter feast typifies Christ’s death, so this sets forth the practical Christian life (1 Cor. 5:88Therefore let us keep the feast, not with old leaven, neither with the leaven of malice and wickedness; but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth. (1 Corinthians 5:8)), that flows from participation in it. It lasts all the week (seven days), typifying the whole course of our life. It is free from leaven which is ever in Scripture a type of wickedness and corruption (See LEAVEN).
