Book of Exodus - Chapter 34 - Verse 18

34:18
The feast of unleavened bread shalt thou keep. Seven days thou shalt eat unleavened bread, as I commanded thee, in the time of the month Abib: for in the month Abib thou camest out from Egypt.

Meaning

The verse refers to the Feast of Unleavened Bread, which was a significant commemorative event in ancient Israelite culture. This feast was held to remember the exodus of the Israelites from Egypt, where they were commanded to eat unleavened bread for seven days in the month of Abib. The use of unleavened bread during this time symbolized the haste with which the Israelites had to leave Egypt, as there was no time for their bread to rise with leaven. The Festival of Unleavened Bread served as a reminder of the hardships endured during their slavery in Egypt and celebrates the liberation and redemption that God provided for his people. By keeping this feast, the Israelites were honoring and remembering the miraculous deliverance that God had brought them through. It was a time for reflecting on their history and renewing their commitment to following God's commands.
