Exegetical and Hermeneutical Commentary of Exodus 13:6
Seven days thou shalt eat unleavened bread, and in the seventh day [shall be] a feast to the LORD.
6. Unleavened cakes to be eaten for 7 days (Exo 12:15), with a ag on the 7th day. In P the ag is on the first day, and there is a ‘holy convocation,’ with restrictions from work, on the 1st and 7th days: Exo 12:14; Exo 12:16, Lev 23:6-8. On the use of unleavened cakes in general, see on Exo 12:8; on their use in this observance, see pp. 241, 242.

Seven days shalt thou eat unleavened bread,…. The Jews y gather from this place, and from De 16:8, that the obligation to eat unleavened bread lasted no longer than the first night of the seven days, but on the rest it was enough if they abstained from leavened bread, and it was lawful for them to eat of other food as they pleased, [See comments on Ex 12:15], but the words are very express in both places, and so in the following verse, for eating unleavened bread, as well as abstaining from leavened; and, indeed, otherwise it would not be so clear and plain a commemoration of their case and circumstances, in which they were when they came out of Egypt; this bread of affliction, as it is called, De 16:3 being what would put them in mind thereof:
and in the seventh day shall be a feast to the Lord; an holy convocation, in which no work was to be done, except what was necessary for preparing food to eat, see Ex 12:16.

Observe the entire and complete state here figured out of a sanctified soul. There must not be the least portion of leaven. So far from mixing it in the offering, it was not even to be seen. It is said that the Jews were so exceedingly tenacious on this point that before the feast day they searched the house diligently lest there should be anything leavened under their roof, which their eyes might behold on that day. Oh! that the Writer and Reader were both so earnest in their spiritual examinations. I would say with David, Lord! Cleanse thou me from secret faults. Psa 19:12 .
