15 Sieben Tage sollt ihr ungesäuertes Brot essen; nämlich am ersten Tage sollt ihr den Sauerteig aus euren Häusern tun. Wer gesäuertes Brot ißt vom ersten Tage an bis auf den siebenten, des Seele soll ausgerottet werden von Israel.

8014. Verses 50-51 And all the children of Israel did as Jehovah had commanded Moses and Aaron - so they did. And so it was on this same day, that Jehovah brought the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt by their hosts.

'And all the children of Israel did as Jehovah had commanded Moses and Aaron' means an act of obedience in accordance with God's truth. 'So they did' means an act initiated by the will. 'And so it was on this same day' means a state of the Lord's presence. 'That Jehovah brought the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt' means that the Lord delivered those governed by the good of truth and guided by the truth of good from damnation. 'By their hosts' means those people made distinct from one another by the specific character of their good, which is derived from truth.
