UN-LEAVENING..... AND EATING UNLEAVENED  BREAD  DURING  THE  7  DAY  FEAST  OF  UNLEAVENED  BREAD


First,  you  un-leaven  your  homes,  that's  all  it  says.  you  do  not  have  to  un-leaven  your  cars.


In  like  manner,  if  you  dropped  some  leaven  crumbs  outside  in  your  back  yard  a  few  days  before  the  feast,  you  do  not  have  to  un-leaven  your  back-yard.


It  is  the  time  to  un-leaven  your  homes.


Yes,  you  are  to  eat  unleavened  bread  each  day  of  the  7  day  feast.


The  leaven  bread  pictures  the  puffing  up  of  sin,  unrighteousness.  Un-leaven  bread  pictures  holiness,  righteousness,  during  this  7  day  feast.


It  is  the  puffing  up  of  flour  as  in  baking  breads  of  different  sorts [wheat, rye, barley] -  leavening  agents  like  eggs  or  whatever  that  could  be  used  to  leaven,  puff  up  breads,  they  are  not  of  themselves  leaven.  


It  is  the  days  of  un-leavened  BREADS!


While  you  can  have  fun  if  a  family,  in  removing  leavened  breads  from  your  home,  don't  make  the  physical  ritual  great  than  the  spiritual.  It  is  the  mindset  -  the  attitude  -  the  physical  is  way  less,  way  less,  greater  than  the  spiritual.  Keep  the  physical  in  balance.
