why is the bread used at the passover unleavened?

Question

another paragraph please and i wiull love you :)

Answer 1

The real reason? G-d said so.

Answer 2

Regarding the bread used when instituting the Memorial, Jesus said: “This means my body which is in your behalf.” (1 Corinthians 11:24; Mark 14:22) It was fitting that the bread was unleavened. Why? Because leaven can denote badness, wickedness, or sin. (1 Corinthians 5:6-8) The bread represented Jesus’ perfect, sinless human body, which fittingly had been offered as a ransom sacrifice. (Hebrews 7:26; 10:5-10) Jehovah’s Witnesses keep this in mind and follow the precedent set by Jesus by using unleavened bread at Memorial observances. In some cases, they use unseasoned Jewish matzos having no extra ingredients, such as onions or eggs. Otherwise, unleavened bread can be made with a small amount of whole-grain flour (where possible, wheat) mixed with a little water. The dough should be rolled thin and can be baked on a slightly oiled cooking sheet until the bread is dry and crisp.

Answer 3

The unleavened bread signifies the body of Christ which was broken for them. Since Christ is sinless and leaven in past times means sin, so the bread is made unleavened. Jesus said He is the bread of life. Whoever eats His flesh (symbolically) receives life. When the angel of death came, the Jews have to remember that Jesus will die for them in the future at the cross so they will be spared being killed by the angel. They have escaped death and received forgiveness and life. Notice they also have to put the blood of the lamb at the door posts which means the blood of Jesus which has bought their redemption from Egypt, a representation of the world. They have been called out of the world and sanctified by His flesh and blood. This is also remniscent of the Holy Communion where the unleavened bread represents His body and the wine represents His blood. It is all symbolic of Christ and His finished work on the Cross.

Answer 4

Because when the Jews left Egypt in a hurry, they didn't have time to bake the bread normally, they just quickly cooked it with no yeast, and that was the result. This is to remind us of what they went through, though eating matzo is far from being a penance, only the lack of leavened products for a week (well, I remember those days when I followed that rule!).

Answer 5

The primary symbol of Passover is the matzo, a flat, unleavened "bread" which recalls the hurriedly-baked bread that the Israelites ate after their hasty departure from Egypt.

Answer 6

The unleavened bread represents the leaving in haste of the Jewish people from out of the land of Egypt. (The bread did not have the time to rise)
Also, leaven is symbolic of sin.

Answer 7

Leaven is symbolic of corruption

1Cr 5:8 Therefore let us keep the feast, not with old leaven, neither with the leaven of malice and wickedness; but with the unleavened [bread] of sincerity and truth.

Answer 8

The reason is that they were to eat the bread ready to move. It was to be carried. Leavened bread contains yeast. It would decay quickly and become rotten.

Thus unleavend bread last longer. Today we use least in bread and it makes the bread rise, but the bread goes off sooner.

Answer 9

Unleavened bread does not need to rise and it could be made in a hurry. They also ate with their sandals on their feet. It was to remember that they were about to leave and did not have time to dilly dally.

Answer 10

It was true that the Israelites were in a hurry, but the real reason for no leaven is because the bible compares it with sin, and thus unleavened bread would be compared to sinless, untarnished sacrifice such as what Jesus Christ became.

Answer 11

Because the Jews were about to escape from Egypt and had to eat quickly and did not have time to add a leavening agent to the dough to make it rise. They wanted to eat and get out of there before Pharaoh changed his mind.
