The Feast of Unleavened Bread, Ha-Matzot is observed in relationship with the feast of Passover and the Exodus from Egypt. It is celebrated for seven days. The essence of this feast is the need for the absence of sin. Leaven is a symbol of sin in the scriptures The main feature is search for and removal of leavening elements Leviticus 23:6-8 'Then on the fifteenth day
of the same month there is the Feast of Unleavened Bread to the LORD;
for seven days you shall eat unleavened bread. 'On the first day you shall
have a holy convocation; you shall not do any laborious work. 'But for
seven days you shall present an offering by fire to the LORD. On the seventh
day is a holy convocation; you shall not do any laborious work.'" "Observe the month of Abib and celebrate the Passover to the LORD your God, for in the month of Abib the LORD your God brought you out of Egypt by night. "And you shall sacrifice the Passover to the LORD your God from the flock and the herd, in the place where the LORD chooses to establish His name. "You shall not eat leavened bread with it; seven days you shall eat with it unleavened bread, the bread of affliction (for you came out of the land of Egypt in haste), in order that you may remember all the days of your life the day when you came out of the land of Egypt. "For seven days no leaven shall be seen with you in all your territory, and none of the flesh which you sacrifice on the evening of the first day shall remain overnight until morning.
Matthew 26:26 And while they were eating, Yeshua took some bread, and after a blessing, He broke it and gave it to the disciples, and said, "Take, eat; this is My body." Yeshua observed this feast. Mark 14: 1 Now the Passover and Unleavened Bread was two days off; and the chief priests and the scribes were seeking how to seize Him by stealth, and kill Him; The Feast of Unleavened Bread was fulfilled when Yeshua's sinless blood was shed Hebrew 9:11 10:18. But when Messiah appeared as a high priest of the good things to come, He entered through the greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made with hands, that is to say, not of this creation; Hebrew 10:18. Now where there is forgiveness of these things, there is no longer any offering for sin. The day Messiah Yeshua was killed was on the 15th
day of the month, which, coincided with the 1st day of the 7 day feast
