Verses 6-8: the Feast of Unleavened Bread EV 23:6-8{in Immediate Association With the Passover Feast, There Is the Feast of Unleavened Bread. During the Seven Days Immediately Following the Passover, No Leaven Whatever Is to Be Found in the Habitations of Jehovah's People. in the Scriptures, Leaven Always Typifies Evil, Whether Moral, Doctrinal, or Ecclesiastical; and Seven Is Always the Number of Perfection or Completeness

The feast of unleavened bread therefore typifies our death with Christ and the manner of life that becomes those who have died with Him. If Christ has suffered, bled, and died to put our sins away, then how can we possibly just go on sinning the way we always used to do? God has "condemned sin in the flesh," and if He has condemned it, then we should condemn it as well. (See Rom. 8:3 and 1 Peter 4:1.) After all, when Christ died, He died "unto sin" and we died unto it with Him. (See Rom. 6:10-11.) Together then, the Passover feast and the feast of unleavened bread typify the death of Christ relative to sin on one hand and our death to it with Him on the other. Death is the ultimate liberation from sin and sinning. Sin shall not have dominion over the man that has died. A dead man is "freed from sin." (See Rom. 6:7, 14.)
