Question: Just what is leaven? Which foods are to be avoided during the Days of Unleavened Bread? Answer: God uses leaven to typify sin (I Cor. 5:1-8). Sin puffs up just as physical leaven puffs up (verse 2). Unleavened Bread is a type of an unleavened life. To understand exactly what is included in the leaven we are to avoid during the Days of Unleavened Bread, let's first notice some of the Hebrew words translated "leaven" in the Old Testament. - Information Supplied By: Herbert W Armstrong Library
