Of the Lord, "Seven days shall ye eat

and no fermenSed liquors appear upon
their tables, or in their houses during
the season. However much the Hebrew

''raised" bread is discarded, and the

baked quickly, takes its place upon the
table of every Israelite during Passover

the Hebrew customers are supplied with
the unleavened bread during the week.
The paschal lamb is also typified by por.
