In the book of Leviticus, God was giving Moses detailed instructions for the Israelites on observing various feasts as part of their covenant relationship with Him. The Feast of Unleavened Bread followed immediately after Passover and commemorated the hurried escape from Egypt, where the Israelites had to eat bread without yeast due to their sudden departure. This feast served as an annual reminder of God's deliverance and the need for spiritual purity among the people.
