NOTHING WITH YEAST IN IT IS TO BE SEEN / EXODUS 13:7

(KJV) Exodus 13:7

Unleavened bread shall be eaten seven days; and there shall no leavened bread be seen with thee, neither shall there be leaven seen with thee in all thy quarters.

During the Passover week, yeast (Hebrew se’or, meaning any yeastlike substance capable of producing fermentation in dough) and anything leavened (Hebrew hamets, meaning anything that has been fermented or has yeast in it) was to be removed from Israelite homes (Exodus 12:15; Exodus 12:19). All foods used in the Passover feast had to conform to these regulations. 

1. The restriction of yeast and fermented things in the homes during Passover probably has to do with the Bible’s teaching that both symbolize corruption, evil and moral impurity (Matthew 16:6; Mark 8:15; 1 Corinthians 5:6-8). 
2. Interestingly, God did not command any use of wine during this week of Passover feasts. Perhaps none was used at this time, not even that which was unfermented. But the absolute removal from the home of all things fermented or that contained yeast would have to include any wine that contained fermentation. Any other wine that might have been used would definitely have to meet the same rigorous standard as all foods: no fermentation. Since Passover prophetically pointed to the perfect blood sacrifice of Christ it makes sense that the wine, which represented Jesus’ blood, was to be free from corruption (Exodus 34:25; Leviticus 2:11; 6:17; 1 Corinthians 5:7-8; Luke 22:18).
