The leaven among the Jews, became an object of much religious concern. They were cautious that no leaven should be found in their houses. (See Exodus 12:15-19) No doubt this had a gospel signification, and was intended to teach, that nothing would be permitted to leaven or mingle with the blood and righteousness of the Lord Jesus Christ, for acceptance before God.
