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. 5:8), 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).
