Deuteronomy 16:3

The Passover Reviewed

1 “Observe the ^amonth of Abib, and keep the Passover to the Lord your God, for ^bin the month of Abib the Lord your God brought you out of Egypt by night.

2 Therefore you shall sacrifice the Passover to the Lord your God, from the flock and ^athe herd, in the ^bplace where the Lord chooses to put His name.

3 You shall eat no leavened bread with it; ^aseven days you shall eat unleavened bread with it, that is, the bread of affliction (for you came out of the land of Egypt in haste), that you may ^bremember the day in which you came out of the land of Egypt all the days of your life.

4 ^aAnd no leaven shall be seen among you in all your territory for seven days, nor shall any of the meat which you sacrifice the first day at twilight remain overnight until ^bmorning.

5 “You may not sacrifice the Passover within any of your gates which the Lord your God gives you;

6 but at the place where the Lord your God chooses to make His name abide, there you shall sacrifice the Passover ^aat twilight, at the going down of the sun, at the time you came out of Egypt.

Deuteronomy 16:3-4

Another place where this is reinforced is Deuteronomy 16:3-4. You may remember from the sermon on the last Sabbath that these verses do not pertain to the Passover itself, the festival, but rather they apply to the Feast of Unleavened Bread.

If we are going to get anything valuable from this experience it is going to come because it has affected our memory of the spiritual things that are involved with this day, because if we do that then it is going to be a more vivid object lesson. That is what the putting out of leaven is for us, it is an object lesson for you and me, something that we are told to actively do in order to enforce the teaching that is there.
