Expanded Bible

¹⁸ In the first month of the year you are to eat ·bread made without yeast [unleavened bread], from the evening of the fourteenth day until the evening of the twenty-first day [^Cto commemorate their rapid departure; 12:39]. ¹⁹ For seven days there must not be any ·yeast [leaven] in your houses. Anybody who eats ·yeast [something leavened] during this time, either an ·Israelite [^Lnative citizen in the land] or ·non-Israelite [^Lalien; sojourner], must be cut off from the ·community [congregation; assembly] of Israel. ²⁰ During this feast you must not eat anything ·made with yeast [leavened]. You must eat only ·bread made without yeast [unleavened bread] wherever you live.”
