📚 Historical Context
This verse describes the Feast of Unleavened Bread, which immediately followed Passover in the Jewish calendar (the first month, Nisan). The Israelites were commanded to remove all yeast from their homes and eat only unleavened bread for seven days to commemorate their hasty exodus from Egypt, when they didn't have time to let their bread rise. This feast was one of three major pilgrimage festivals when all Jewish males were required to appear before the Lord in Jerusalem.
