How many days is unleavened bread to be eaten during the passover?

Question

Deuteronomy 16:8
Six days thou shalt eat unleavened bread: and on the seventh day shall be a solemn assembly to the Lord thy God

Deuteronomy 16:3
Seven days shalt thou eat unleavened bread therewith, even the bread of affliction.

Exodus 12:15
Seven days shall ye eat unleavened bread.

Exodus 23:15
Thou shalt eat unleavened bread seven days, as I commanded thee.

So is it 6 or 7?

Answer 1

it's 7 - just because there is an assembly doesn't mean that you are not going to eat, and it doesn't say that during the assembly we will eat bread, so you go with the 7 from the other verses.

Answer 2

Are you a Jew, or are you a Christian? Jews have 'the passover' and that is celebrated for a set number of days, and they eat only unleavened bread during 'the passover' to 'remember being in Slavery and being 'freed' by Moses. You should talk to your Rabbi about how many days the passover is. If you are a Christian, then we eat 'unleavened bread' at 'different times' depending on which 'Christian religion' you are ... again, ask the pastor of your church what to do, and for how long.
I'm a Catholic, and I am used to a very 'old fashioned' church that uses only the 'flat' little 'wheat wafers' that are 'like unleavened bread' and are used when we 'celebrate the Eucharist' (take Communion.) This Lenten season, my husband and I are going to a 'different' Catholic church in the same diocese, and they are using what seems to me to be a 'leavened' bread, although it's 'thin' ... but I still 'take Communion' with them because it's done in a Catholic church ... and I won't eat any 'leavened bread' between Holy Thursday at 'supper' and the 'Easter Service' I attend, either 'close to midnight' on Saturday night or on Easter Sunday morning ... nor will I eat any 'meat' during that time. That's called 'religious fasting' to mark the 'sad period between the Last Supper of Christ and his 'resurrection' three days after he was Crucified (which would have been on the Friday, of course).

Answer 3

Passover is the dinner party of unleavened bread straightforward as Matzoh. in the process the occasion, it particularly is in simple terms eaten because of the fact the Jews ought to not watch for their bread to upward push earlier their hasty departure from Egypt. They took it out of the oven collectively as they have been unleavened. it particularly is the reason of eating unleavened bread for the duration of Passover.
