Exodus 12:18
“In the first month, on the fourteenth day of the month at evening, you shall eat unleavened bread, until the twenty first day of the month at evening.”
What does Exodus 12:18 mean?
During Passover, God's people were called to eat bread made without yeast for a full week, beginning on the evening of the fourteenth day. This wasn't just a meal; it was a practice that helped them remember their hurried escape from Egypt, when there wasn't time to let bread rise. By eating unleavened bread together, families kept that story of liberation alive in their bodies and hearts, passing it down through generations. It's a beautiful reminder that sometimes the most ordinary acts, like sharing food, can carry extraordinary spiritual weight.
