8058. Seven days thou shalt eat unleavened things. That this signifies purification from falsities, is evident from the signification of “seven days,” as involving what is holy (see n. 395, 433, 716, 881, 5265, 5268), and as being a full state (n. 6508); and from the signification of “eating unleavened things,” as being the appropriation of truth and purification from falsity, for “what is unleavened” denotes good purified from falsity, and “eating” denotes appropriation (n. 3168, 3513, 3596, 3832, 4745). That “what is unleavened” denotes good purified from falsity, is because “bread” denotes good, and “leaven” falsity.
