The Feast of Unleavened Bread

“Seven days shall you eat unleavened bread; even the first day ye shall put away leaven out of your houses…”  (Exodus 12:15)   What does it mean to keep the Feast of Unleavened Bread?

(Leviticus 23:4 KJV)  These are the feasts of the LORD, even holy convocations, which ye shall proclaim in their seasons.

(Exodus 12:15 KJV)  Seven days shall ye eat unleavened bread; even the first day ye shall put away leaven out of your houses: for whosoever eateth leavened bread from the first day until the seventh day, that soul shall be cut off from Israel.

(Exodus 12:16 KJV)  And in the first day there shall be an holy convocation, and in the seventh day there shall be an holy convocation to you; no manner of work shall be done in them, save that which every man must eat, that only may be done of you.

(Exodus 12:17 KJV)  And ye shall observe the feast of unleavened bread; for in this selfsame day have I brought your armies out of the land of Egypt: therefore shall ye observe this day in your generations by an ordinance for ever.

(Exodus 12:18 KJV)  In the first month, on the fourteenth day of the month at even, ye shall eat unleavened bread, until the one and twentieth day of the month at even.

(Exodus 12:19 KJV)  Seven days shall there be no leaven found in your houses: for whosoever eateth that which is leavened, even that soul shall be cut off from the congregation of Israel, whether he be a stranger, or born in the land.

(Romans 6:1 KJV)  What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound?

(Romans 6:2 KJV)  God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein?

(1 Corinthians 5:6 KJV)  Your glorying is not good. Know ye not that a little leaven leaveneth the whole lump?

(1 Corinthians 5:7 KJV)  Purge out therefore the old leaven, that ye may be a new lump, as ye are unleavened. For even Christ our passover is sacrificed for us:

(1 Corinthians 5:8 KJV)  Therefore let us keep the feast, not with old leaven, neither with the leaven of malice and wickedness; but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.

(Acts 12:4 KJV)  And when he had apprehended him, he put him in prison, and delivered him to four quaternions of soldiers to keep him; intending after Easter to bring him forth to the people.

(1 Corinthians 11:26 KJV)  For as often as ye eat this bread, and drink this cup, ye do shew the Lord’s death till he come.

(Acts 12:3 KJV)  And because he saw it pleased the Jews, he proceeded further to take Peter also. (Then were the days of unleavened bread.)

(Acts 20:6 KJV)  And we sailed away from Philippi after the days of unleavened bread, and came unto them to Troas in five days; where we abode seven days.

(Genesis 1:14 KJV)  And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years:
