Difference between revisions of "Leaven"

<div> '''A — 1: '''''Ζύμη''''' ''' (Strong'S #2219 — Noun [[Feminine]] — zume — dzoo'-may ) </div> <p> "leaven, sour dough, in a high state of fermentation," was used in general in making bread. It required time to fulfill the process. Hence, when food was required at short notice, unleavened cakes were used, e.g., &nbsp;Genesis 18:6; &nbsp;19:3; &nbsp;Exodus 12:8 . The Israelites were forbidden to use "leaven" for seven days at the time of Passover, that they might be reminded that the Lord brought them out of Egypt "in haste," &nbsp;Deuteronomy 16:3 , with &nbsp;Exodus 12:11; the unleavened bread, insipid in taste, reminding them, too, of their afflictions, and of the need of self-judgment, is called "the bread of affliction." "Leaven" was forbidden in all offerings to the Lord by fire, &nbsp;Leviticus 2:11; &nbsp;6:17 . Being bred of corruption and spreading through the mass of that in which it is mixed, and therefore symbolizing the pervasive character of evil, "leaven" was utterly inconsistent in offerings which typified the propitiatory sacrifice of Christ. </p> &nbsp;Matthew 13:33&nbsp;Luke 13:21&nbsp;Matthew 16:6,11&nbsp;Mark 8:15&nbsp; Luke 12:1&nbsp;Mark 8:15&nbsp; 1 Corinthians 5:7,8&nbsp;Matthew 16:12&nbsp;1 Corinthians 5:6&nbsp;Galatians 5:9 <div> '''B — 1: '''''Ζυμόω''''' ''' (Strong'S #2220 — Verb — zumoo — dzoo-mo'-o ) </div> <p> signifies "to leaven, to act as leaven," Passive Voice in &nbsp;Matthew 13:33; &nbsp;Luke 13:21; Active Voice in &nbsp;1 Corinthians 5:6; &nbsp;Galatians 5:9 . </p>
