Leaven

 
in every case in Scripture is uniformly a type of hidden evil, spreading and corrupting in its tendency. It was not, therefore, to be offered to Jehovah in the offerings. The only exceptions to this being in the offerings at the feast of Pentecost (Lev. 23), which do not typify Christ, but the church, which contains an admixture of evil; and Lev. 7:1313Besides the cakes, he shall offer for his offering leavened bread with the sacrifice of thanksgiving of his peace offerings. (Leviticus 7:13).
