Exodus 13:7-9

The Voice

⁷ Remember the directive: only bread made without yeast can be eaten during the seven festival days. Don’t keep any bread with yeast around; in fact, get rid of all yeast anywhere in your territory during those days. ⁸ You are to explain to your children on that day, “We observe this feast because of what the Eternal did for me when I came out of Egypt.” ⁹ This festival will be a sign to you—like a mark stamped on the back of your hand or a reminder written across your forehead—so that the Eternal’s instruction will never be far from your lips. For He led you out of Egypt with a strong hand.
