And Moses said unto the people, Remember this day, in which ye came out from Egypt, out of the house of bondage; for by strength of hand the LORD brought you out from this place: there shall no leavened bread be eaten.
Moses told the people, 'Remember this day when you came out of Egypt, out of slavery. The LORD brought you out of this place with His mighty power. You must not eat any bread made with yeast.'
Moses is telling the Israelites to always remember the day God powerfully freed them from slavery in Egypt, and to commemorate it by avoiding leavened bread.
