"You shall eat nothing leavened. In all your habitations you shall eat unleavened bread.'""
Commentary
Gill's Exposition
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.
