Leaven
Hawker's Poor Man's Concordance And Dictionary
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.
