unleavened (bread)

“Bread, Unleavened” From Dictionary of Biblical Words:

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).

“Unleavened Bread” From Dictionary of Biblical Words:

That which is to characterize the believer’s life (1 Cor.>d 10), that is, sincerity and truth, free from the leaven of malice and wickedness. Unleavened bread is always a type of purity; hence, when the Church is prefigured at the Feast of Pentecost (Lev. 23) it is with leavened loaves, because the individuals com, posing it contain evil.

Boyd’s Bible Dictionary:
