Contextual Overview

1Then the LORD said to Moses, 2"Consecrate to Me every firstborn male. The firstborn from every womb among the Israelites belongs to Me, both of man and beast." 3So Moses told the people, "Remember this day, the day you came out of Egypt, out of the house of slavery; for the LORD brought you out of it by the strength of His hand. And nothing leavened shall be eaten. 4Today, in the month of Abib, you are leaving. 5And when the LORD brings you into the land of the Canaanites, Hittites, Amorites, Hivites, and Jebusites-the land He swore to your fathers that He would give you, a land flowing with milk and honey-you shall keep this service in this month. 6For seven days you are to eat unleavened bread, and on the seventh day there shall be a feast to the LORD. 7Unleavened bread shall be eaten during those seven days. Nothing leavened may be found among you, nor shall yeast be found anywhere within your borders.8And on that day you are to explain to your son, 'This is because of what the LORD did for me when I came out of Egypt.' 9It shall be a sign for you on your hand and a reminder on your forehead that the law of the LORD is to be on your lips. For with a mighty hand the LORD brought you out of Egypt. 10Therefore you shall keep this ordinance at the appointed time year after year.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Unleavened bread shall be eaten seven days,.... From the evening of the fourteenth day, to the evening of the twenty first,

Exodus 12:18, this is very express as before, that not only they were to abstain from leaven, but that they were obliged to eat unleavened bread; and as for the cakes of eggs and sugar the Jews now use, these, as Leo Modeua says z, are for those that are dainty and of tender stomachs and such as are sick, who eat unleavened bread also;

and there shall no leavened bread be seen with thee, neither shall there be leaven seen with thee in all thy quarters:

Exodus 12:18- : and the above mentioned writer says a,

"they begin before the passover, with all the diligence and care they can, to put away all leaven, or anything that hath had leaven in it, out of their houses, and out of their power; searching all their cupboards and bins, and cleansing the whole house and whiting it all over; and they provide themselves also of new utensils for their kitchen and table; or else they new make the old again, and scour them well; or else they have a select number of vessels set apart for the use of the passover only, that so they may be certainly assured that they use not anything during those eight days, that hath had leaven in it:''

and Aben Ezra upon the place says, that the sense of it is, that the Israelites ought not to suffer any to sojourn in any place subject to them, but on this condition, that they abstain from leavened bread at the time of the passover, and this he takes to be the meaning of the phrase, "in all thy quarters or borders".
