The Symbolism of Leaven
Commentators explain that the seven-day period of eating unleavened bread is deeply symbolic. Just as the Israelites removed all leaven (a symbol of corruption) from their homes, believers are called to purge the 'leaven' of malice, hypocrisy, and sin from their lives. The command points toward a life lived in sincerity and truth, reflecting the purity of Christ, our Passover Lamb.
