Beware Spiritual Leaven
Commentators unanimously interpret the prohibition of leaven as a symbol of spiritual corruption. It represents pride, hypocrisy, false doctrine, and malice. Just as a little leaven spreads through dough, these sins can corrupt a person's heart and their worship, making them unacceptable to a holy God. This echoes Jesus' warning to beware the 'leaven of the Pharisees.'
