This timing is significant as it follows the Passover, which is observed on the 14th day. The 15th day marks the beginning of the Feast of Unleavened Bread, a key festival in the Jewish religious calendar. This period is a time of remembrance for the Israelites' exodus from Egypt, highlighting God's deliverance and faithfulness. The timing also aligns with the spring harvest, symbolizing new beginnings and God's provision.<p><b>there shall be a feast</b><br>The feast mentioned is the Feast of Unleavened Bread, one of the three major pilgrimage festivals in ancient Israel. It is a time of communal gathering and worship, emphasizing unity and shared faith among the Israelites. Historically, this feast served as a reminder of the haste with which the Israelites left Egypt, as they did not have time to let their bread rise. Theologically, it underscores themes of purity and separation from sin, as leaven often symbolizes sin in biblical literature.<p><b>for seven days</b><br>The duration of seven days is significant in biblical numerology, often representing completeness or perfection. This week-long observance allows for a thorough reflection on God's deliverance and the importance of living a life set apart for Him. The seven-day period also provides ample time for teaching and reinforcing the lessons of the Exodus to future generations, ensuring the continuity of faith and tradition.<p><b>unleavened bread is to be eaten</b><br>Unleavened bread, or matzah, is central to this feast. Its consumption is a direct command from God, symbolizing the purity and holiness expected of His people. The absence of leaven, which causes fermentation and decay, represents the removal of sin and corruption from one's life. This practice is also a type of Christ, who is the sinless "bread of life" (<a href="/john/6-35.htm">John 6:35</a>). Just as the Israelites were sustained by unleavened bread during their journey, believers are spiritually sustained by Christ.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_israelites.htm">The Israelites</a></b><br>The chosen people of God, who are given specific instructions on how to observe the feasts and offerings.<br><br>2. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_feast_of_unleavened_bread.htm">The Feast of Unleavened Bread</a></b><br>A significant Jewish festival that begins on the fifteenth day of the first month (Nisan) and lasts for seven days, commemorating the Israelites' exodus from Egypt.<br><br>3. <b><a href="/topical/m/moses.htm">Moses</a></b><br>The leader of the Israelites, who received the law from God and communicated these instructions to the people.<br><br>4. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_tabernacle.htm">The Tabernacle</a></b><br>The place where the Israelites would bring their offerings and where the priests would perform the rituals associated with the feast.<br><br>5. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_wilderness.htm">The Wilderness</a></b><br>The setting where the Israelites received these instructions, as they journeyed from Egypt to the Promised Land.<div class="vheading2">Teaching Points</div><b><a href="/topical/s/significance_of_obedience.htm">Significance of Obedience</a></b><br>The Israelites were called to obey God's commands regarding the feasts, which teaches us the importance of obedience in our own spiritual lives.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/s/symbolism_of_unleavened_bread.htm">Symbolism of Unleavened Bread</a></b><br>The absence of leaven symbolizes purity and separation from sin, reminding believers to live holy lives.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/r/remembrance_and_thanksgiving.htm">Remembrance and Thanksgiving</a></b><br>The Feast of Unleavened Bread was a time to remember God's deliverance and provision, encouraging us to regularly reflect on and give thanks for God's work in our lives.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/c/community_and_worship.htm">Community and Worship</a></b><br>The communal aspect of the feast highlights the importance of gathering together for worship and mutual encouragement in the faith.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/c/christ_as_our_passover.htm">Christ as Our Passover</a></b><br>Understanding the fulfillment of the Passover in Christ deepens our appreciation for His sacrifice and the new covenant established through His blood.<div class="vheading2">Lists and Questions</div><a href="/top10/lessons_from_numbers_28.htm">Top 10 Lessons from Numbers 28</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/what_does_'i_desire_mercy'_mean.htm">What is the Feast of Unleavened Bread?</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/how_did_israelites_supply_many_sacrifice_animals.htm">How could the Israelites realistically supply the large number of animals required for the consecutive sacrifices in Numbers 29?</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/what_is_the_definition_of_religion.htm">What was Jesus' lifespan?</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/how_did_israelites_offer_animals_daily.htm">In Numbers 28:2, how could the Israelites offer animals twice daily in a harsh desert environment with limited livestock and resources?</a><a name="commentary" id="commentary"></a><div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/pulpit/numbers/28.htm">Pulpit Commentary</a></div><span class="cmt_sub_title">Verse 17.</span> - <span class="cmt_word">In</span> <span class="cmt_word">the fifteenth day of this month is the feast.</span> The fourteenth day of Abib, or Nisan, the day of the passover proper, was not a feast, but a fast ending with the sacred meal of the evening.
