Six days you shall eat unleavened bread; and on the seventh day shall be a solemn assembly to Yahweh your God; you shall do no work [therein].
Verse Takeaways

Not a Contradiction
Commentators address why this verse mentions eating unleavened bread for "six days" when other passages specify seven. They clarify this is not a contradiction. The seventh day is simply highlighted for its special purpose as a "solemn assembly," not because unleavened bread was omitted on that day.
