Exodus 12:20

What does Exodus 12:20 mean?

The Israelites were commanded to remove all yeast from their homes during Passover, eating only unleavened bread to remember their hurried escape from Egypt, when there was no time to let bread rise. This practice became a sacred marker of freedom, turning an everyday necessity of that desperate night into a yearly spiritual discipline. By repeating this simple act generation after generation, families kept the story of liberation alive in their bodies and homes. It's a beautiful example of how physical practices can anchor our memory of God's faithfulness when words alone might fade.
