Moses and the Exodus (cont.)
The entire time I was reading I was wondering why it was so important that they make the bread without yeast? And then when I was finished reading my bible said this "God's instructions for the Passover stress the need for haste. Roasting over fire cooks meat faster than boiling and (unlike frying or baking) requires no pan or oven. Likewise, bread without yeast doesn't need time to rise. The emphasis on speed indicated to the Israelites how terrible this plague would be and how swift they would have to flee from Egypt.". I also wonder why it seems the instructions for the passover are repeated twice; they must have been extremely important and special to God. Thinking about the passover, it's crazy how long this tradition has lasted. It continues all throughout the bible, and churches today still celebrate it. And it's also really cool that God brought them out, exactly 430 years later. So precise!
