Unleavened Bread
(Heb. massa, "sweet"; Gk. 'azumos). Bread baked from unfermented dough, or
(NIV) without yeast (Gen 19:3; Judg 6:19; 1 Sam 28:24).
This was formally presented for the Paschal (Passover) cakes (Ex 12:8,15,20;
13:3,6-7) and thus became a symbol of the festival popularly called "the feast
of unleavened bread ."
