== Leaven ==


The word leaven as a noun is defined:
# An agent, such as yeast, that causes batter or dough to rise, especially by fermentation.
# An element, influence, or agent that works subtly to lighten, enliven, or modify a whole.
# Any substance that produces, or is designed to produce, fermentation, as in dough or liquids; esp., a portion of fermenting dough, which, mixed with a larger quantity of dough, produces a general change in the mass, and renders it light; yeast.


Jesus use the term ''leaven''<Ref name="leaven">{{2219}}</Ref> several times in reference to the The [[leaven]] of the [[Pharisees]]. It is clearly another of those [[metaphor]]s built into the Hebrew language and thinking.  
According to these modern definitions we see that ''leaven'' generally is a reference to a "substance" that "causes" a dough to rise through "fermentation" or some other "agent".


Leaven by its nature is something that even in small a quantity, may influence everything. It could be used as a good influence or in a good sense<Ref>Another parable spake he unto them; The kingdom of heaven is like unto leaven, which a woman took, and hid in three measures of meal, till the whole was leavened."  ([Matthew 13]:33)</Ref> or a pernicious influence as in a bad sense we see with the [[leaven]] of the [[Pharisees]].<Ref name="beware">Then Jesus said unto them, Take heed and beware of the [[leaven]] of the [[Pharisees]] and of the [[Sadducees]].  ([[Matthew 16]]:6)
But the second definition is clearly not about either yeast nor bread but an "element, influence, or agent that works subtly to lighten, enliven, or modify a whole."
: "How is it that ye do not understand that I spake it not to you concerning bread, that ye should beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees?  ([[Matthew 16]]:11)
 
The etymology of the word ''leaven'' is from the "Latin ''levamen'', which in literary use meant 'alleviation, mitigation,' but in Vulgar Latin it had a literal sense of
'means of lifting'" and is the source of words like ''alleviate, legerdemain (Deceitful cleverness), levy''...
 
== Biblical leaven ==
 
We see in [[Exodus 12]] that the ''memorial''<Ref name="zikrown">{{02146}}</Ref> of the [[Passover]] would require that the bread eaten would have to be un[[leaven]]ed bread. 
 
Does this statement concerning the ''memorial'' and the eating of flat bread made without yeast really just about unleavened bread or is there a deeper meaning in the ritual of the memorial that has been forgotten?
 
The appearance of the word ''leaven'' in the Bible is often meant as a metaphor for the idea of a ''negative influence'', [[evil]], or [[iniquity]] that ''subtly modifies the whole'' of society. Can it be symbolic of forms or systems of ''oppression'' and ''cruelty'' within society in numerous  ways?
 
In the [[Allegory|allegories]] and [[parables]] of the Bible wheat can represent men to be harvested, thrashed, or ground I to flour.  ''Bread'' can include that with is collected and distributed for the [[welfare]] of society.
 
=== Corrupting leaven ===
 
The means and methods of that ''collection and redistribution'' may be described by the use of ''leavened'' and ''unleavened'' bread:
 
# '''Leaven can represent ''<U>something inserted</u>''''' into society that feeds the "evil inclinations" of the heart like [[greed]] or [[covetousness]] which has often contributed to the [[degenerate|degeneration]] of the [[masses]] throughout history.
# '''[[Philo Judaeus|Philo]] writes about the ''<U>puffed up</U>''''' suggesting that leaven by its nature is "intimating that no one who comes to the [[altar]] ought at all to allow himself to be elated, being puffed up by insolence; but that such persons may keep their eyes fixed on the greatness of God".<Ref> ''Special Laws 1'', Line 293, [[Philo Judaeus]]  </Ref>
# '''Leaven is seen as ''<U>evil inclination</U>''''' in some Jewish traditions where, “The Rabbis regarded hametz [leaven] as the '''symbol of the evil inclination'''. The ‘yeast in the dough’ (the evil impulse that causes ferment in the heart) prevents human beings from carrying out the [[will of God]] (Bereshit 17a). Hametz also represents human [[pride|haughtiness and conceit]].<Ref>Nothing is more ''arrogant, [[pride|haughty and conceited]] than [[covet]]ing the right to the property of others. </Ref> Just as leaven puffs up dough, so '''human arrogance cause[s] us to believe that we, not God, control our destiny.'''” <Ref>[https://jps.org/books/jewish-traditions-a-jps-guide/ The JPS Guide to Jewish Traditions], by Dr. Ronald L. Eisenberg, 2004, 269.</Ref>
# The leaven in [[Luke 12]] caused the masses to "trode"<Ref name="katapateoone">{{2662}}</Ref> upon one another. This has been said to be a  reflection of future ''corrupting influences'' in the Church. It is a warning to the [[Pharisees]] and those who would follow the way of their [[leaven]] which has become a present "'''corrupting influence'''".<Ref name="lukelev1">[[Luke 12]]:1 "In the mean time, when there were gathered together an innumerable multitude of people, insomuch that they trode one upon another, he began to say unto his [[disciples]] first of all, [[4337|Beware]] ye of the [[leaven]] of the [[Pharisees]], which is [[Hypocrite|hypocrisy]]. 2  For there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; neither hid, that shall not be known. 3  Therefore whatsoever ye have spoken in [[darkness]] shall be heard in the light; and that which ye have spoken in the ear in closets shall be proclaimed upon the housetops."</Ref>
# Leviticus 23:4-6, the doctrine of [[Moses]] was always in conformity with Christ His and prohibition and [[warnings]] concerning leaven was never about dough and yeast which were merely metaphors. Once metaphors were unmoored from their true meaning the laws of the Pharisees became a [[stumblingblock]] of [[strong delusion|religious rituals]] identified as the "leaven of the Pharisees"<Ref name="bewarelev">{{bewarelev}}</Ref> making the word of God to none effect.
 
 
=== The leaven of Heaven ===
 
# We see leaven used to describe the [[Kingdom of heaven|kingdom of Heaven]] in [[Matthew 13]]:[33] "Another parable spake he unto them; <span style="color:red">'''The [[kingdom of heaven]] is like unto [[leaven]]<Ref name="kingdomlike">{{kingdomlike}}</Ref>, which a woman took, and hid in three measures of meal, till the whole was [[leaven]]ed.'''</span>"
# And again to describe the  [[kingdom of God]] in [[Luke 13]]:20 "And again he said, <span style="color:red">'''Whereunto shall I liken the [[kingdom of God]]? 21 It is like leaven<Ref name="kingdomlike">{{kingdomlike}}</Ref>, which a woman took and hid in three measures of meal, till the whole was '''leaven'''ed.'''"</span>
# And even in the non-canonical [[The Gospel of Thomas|Gospel of Thomas]] ([[The_Gospel_of_Thomas#leaven_of_the_Father|logion 96]]‐) or the "The Ethiopic Didascalia"<Ref>But if bishops, and others (''bring'') on them any defilement or stain, dae of them the people are?! put to shame; and (if) the judge not uprightly for the orphan, and the oor, and the widow, but show favour in judgment that the may get gifts** and bribes, such shall be reckoned A with the hypocrites, Even as it is written in the Gospel saying, “Why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy neighbour’s eye, and seest not the beam that is in thine own eye? ’’?* Let bishops and Priests then give heed that there be not found with them deeds of this sort,- lest others be offended, when they see these evil doings. <Br>For the wicked seek occasions to destroy others and to scatter the Lord’s?® flock. For a little leaven leaveneth much meal. In like manner sin followeth after those that commit it, (and) thus destroyeth *° very many. As when a thief is found in a treasure-house and bringeth an evil name on his kinsfolk by the evil of his doings; and as when the stinking flesh of a corpse 1s cast into ointment, the odour of 2 the
fragrance thereof is tainted; and as when a king is evil and cruel (and) dispenseth not justice, so, too, are his Princes; and as when a_ scabby sheep feedeth with (other) sheep, they all become scabby, if it be not separated from them; and as, when a mad dog biteth all whom it meeteth, except it be killed, all *? those whom it biteth become mad together with it; in like manner if any man be a scorner, and a mocker, and contentious and a transgressor of the commandments which are in the law, let him be put forth from the Church, lest he corrupt the house of the Lord, and make (it) a den of robbers." ''The Ethiopic Didascalia'', By J M-HARDEN. Containing "several chapters dealing chiefly with the offices and duties of Christian ministers (Chapters iv.- xii.). A chapter follows in which Christians are forbidden to take part in any of the assemblies of the heathen, or to be spectators in theatres. In Chapters xiv.-xxi. the duties of widows, and of the Church towards
them and orphans, are the chief subjects mentioned..." </Ref>
# Leaven is projected by some as a ''"sexual perversion or promiscuity".'' But that may only be a distraction from the real sin found in [[covet]]ing the [[reward of unrighteousness]] by way of the  [[Unrighteous mammon|unrighteousness mammon]] which included the [[Corban]] of [[Herod]] and the [[pharisees]]. The practices of ''"sexual perversion or promiscuity"'' are symptoms of ''"[[adultery|national adultery]]"'' and ''"[[fornication|covetous fornication]]"'' with their application to eat at the [[tables]] of the [[goddess]]es of [[Social welfare]].<Br>Some say [[1 Corinthians 5]]:1–8 seems to say that someone in their midst ''was'' committing "[[4202|pornia]]". ''Pornia'' is clearly a metaphor for "the [[worship]] of [[idols]]". The modern consensus is the author is talking about someone sleep with their step mother but that seems out of context. Are they actually addressing a dependence on the [[unrighteous mammon]] provided by the [[Turtledove|Turtledove goddesses]] found providing [[social welfare]] in those [[Paganism|pagan]] [[temples]] like those of [[Sumer]]. That practice or [[appetite]] for her [[dainties]] is seen by Paul as fornication if not [[adultery]], and even [[idolatry]] because of the [[covetous]] nature of [[public religion]] provide through  the governments of the gentiles who [[exercise authority]].<Ref name="exauth">{{exauth}}</Ref>
# The recorded sayings and [[doctrine of Jesus]] makes it clear that leaven has nothing to do with bread or yeast but is the result of the [[pride]] of the [[Pharisees]], [[Sadducees]], and [[Herod]].
 
=== Matstsah ===
 
A Hebrew word for "unleavened bread or cake" is ''matstsah''<Ref name="matstsah">{{04682}}</Ref> MemZtadikHey but the word in verse 17<Ref>Exodus 12:17  And ye shall observe [the feast of] [[04682|unleavened]] bread<הַמַּצּוֹת֒ hammaṣṣōwṯ>; for in this selfsame day have I brought your armies out of the land of Egypt: therefore shall ye observe this day in your generations by an ordinance for ever.</Ref> is ''maṣṣōwṯ'' (מַצּ֣וֹת) MemZtadik[[Vav]][[Tav]].
 
Matzoh is said to be "bread baked without leaven" and this word "Leaven"  ש א ר(shin-alef-reish) has been seen as an anagram for the "[[firstborn]]"  ר א שׁ (reish-aleph-shin).
 
Some see the word like in memtavbeittzadik as a form of matbeitstsah<Ref name="matstsah">{{04682}}</Ref> broken down  "mot"  מ ת (the serpent of death) with  ב  as the "home" of the "righteous one," represented by the Tzadik צ which makes some see the word mem-tav (mot) is the word for "death."
 
The word in Exodus 12:15<Ref>[[Exodus 12]]:15  Seven days shall ye eat unleavened bread; even the first day ye shall put away leaven out of your houses: for whosoever eateth leavened bread from the first day until the seventh day, that soul shall be cut off from Israel.</Ref> [[07603]] שְׂאֹר‎ sëor which is ShinAlefReish <Ref name="seor">{{07603}}</Ref> which is from the verb ''shar'' said to mean to ''leave''<Ref name="shar">{{07604}}</Ref>
 
In fact the casual reading of the text by verse 19<Ref>[[Exodus 12]]:19  Seven days shall there be no leaven found in your houses: for whosoever eateth that which is leavened, even that soul shall be cut off from the congregation of Israel, whether he be a stranger, or born in the land.</Ref> there are those that believe that anyone who "eateth that which is leavened, even that soul shall be cut off<Ref>מַחְמֶ֗צֶת maḥme, what is leavened וְנִכְרְתָ֞ה wəniḵrəṯāh, and shall be cut offṣeṯ</Ref> from the [[congregation]] of Israel." 
 
But have the people unmoored the meaning of the ritual making the practices of [[leaven]] and unleavend bread into a form of [[idolatry]] by worshiping the symbols of corruption. Most commentaries are explaining that ''leaven'' was regarded as produced by corruption as is suggested in [[Exodus 23]]:18.
 
"Paul twice quotes the saying, ‘A little [[leaven]]<Ref name="leaven">{{2219}}</Ref> leaveneth the whole lump’ ([[1 Corinthians 5]]:6, [[Galatians 5]]:9), with reference to ''moral corruption'': and in [[1 Corinthians 5]]:7-8, with evident reference to ''that'' injunction, bids Christians ‘clear away the old leaven,’ and ‘keep the feast’ of their [[Passover]], Christ (i.e. live the Christian life), with the ‘unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.’"<Ref>see commentary in the Cambridge Bible for Schools and Colleges</Ref>
 
[[File:Leaven-passover-lego.jpg|300px|right|thumb|What difference does fluffy bread vs thin bread really make to God? Was there there a much deeper and more practical meaning that was later turned into a trivial ritual by Pharisees? How did the idea of "leaven" relate to the governance of a nation of free people?<Br  [[Leaven]] bread the [[free bread]] of oppression?<Ref name="cryanguish">{{cryanguish}}</Ref>  ]]
 
=== The sour leaven ===
 
The Hebrew word Chametz means any grain in which fermentation has occurred. It is related to the word said to be chamutz, which means "sour" or "to sour". That process of souring through fermentation is breaking the complex starch into sugars and into alcohol, and carbon dioxide. The bacteria that produces this anaerobic change starts the fermentation is everywhere.

[[Daily bread]] of [[Rome]] and now [[Herod]] and the [[Pharisees]]  was provided in a similar manner to that of [[Nimrod]] and [[Pharaoh]] which  "sucked the sweetness out" of their society while they were in the [[Bondage of Egypt]]?
 
Jesus used the term [[leaven]]<Ref name="leaven">{{2219}}</Ref> several times in reference to the [[leaven]] of the [[Pharisees]].
 
It is clearly another of those [[metaphor]]s built into the Hebrew language and thinking.
 
Leaven by its nature is something that even in small a quantity, may influence everything. It could be used as a good influence or in a good sense<Ref>"Another parable spake he unto them; The kingdom of heaven is like unto leaven, which a woman took, and hid in three measures of meal, till the whole was leavened."  ([[Matthew 13]]:33)</Ref> or a pernicious influence or in a bad sense which we see with the [[leaven]] of the [[Pharisees]].<Ref name="beware">Then Jesus said unto them, Take heed and beware of the [[leaven]] of the [[Pharisees]] and of the [[Sadducees]].  ([[Matthew 16]]:6)

[[Pharisees]] were clearly creating new doctrines that allowed them to emphasis rituals and form, words and phrases but failed to attend to the weightier matters.

That creation of new doctrines with often fictional and [[private interpretation]]s by the pharisees was part of what Jesus meant when he referred to the need to "Beware of the Leaven of the [[Pharisees]]".<Ref name="beware"></Ref>
== A new doctrine ==
 
[[Pharisees]] were clearly creating new doctrines through false interpretations and their [[Sophistry]] for years but it was the [[Corban]] of the Pharisees that was truly making the word of God to none effect.
 
The man made doctrine which strained at gnats swallowed a camel of lies was the result of vanity which caused them to hate the "light" and love the darkness. Their heart were as hard as that of the [[pharaoh]] and they would not let the people go out of their [[civil law]] contract with the [[public religion]] at the [[temples]] built by [[Herod]].
 
The citizens of Judea had become members of a [[welfare]] system funded by [[force]]d offerings rather than the [[freewill offerings]] of [[Moses]]. This had been done through a new program where membership was recorded through the [[Baptism]] of [[Herod]]. No one was allowed to leave those systems until the Pharisees were so angry with [[Jesus]] that they made a law that would ''thrust them out''.<Ref>John 9:22  These [words] spake his parents, because they feared the Jews: for the Jews had agreed already, that if any man did confess that he was Christ, he should be put out of the synagogue.
: John 12:42  Nevertheless among the chief rulers also many believed on him; but because of the Pharisees they did not confess [him], lest they should be put out of the synagogue:</Ref>
 
Their pride in their doctrines allowed took their ability to see the truth away from them. This blindness to the truth required them to put an emphasis on rituals and form, ''words and phrases'' which they saw in the letter of the scriptures with their limited understanding but failed to attend to the [[weightier matters]].  
 
They often did this by denying alternative uses and meaning of Hebrew words or by altering their meaning through [[Sophistry]]. They had offered a New Deal through the government of Herod to provide that public religion which Christ would forbid for his followers.<Ref name="exauth">{{exauth}}</Ref>
 
That is hard for many to understand because they read the text of the Bible in the shadow of the tree of knowledge. This may be better understood if we look at the origin of the word from which we get the term leaven.

If you removed all the yeast in your home for the Feast of Passover would your house still be full of leaven?
Are the Feasts of Israel including the Passover filled with the leaven that sucks the sweetness of life out of the people who bite one another, leaving the masses with less liberty and a willingness and habit of "troding"[1] upon one another rather than loving one another which bears the fruit of more deaths of despair?
The Daily bread from the Benefactors of the world of Rome which exercise authority and institute force and violence through the corruption of the covetous practices of idolatry[2]. The dependent of "men who exercise authority one over the other" was forbidden by Christ, but also by Moses[3].
Early Christians did not have an appetite for free bread of the "temples of the Social welfare State" of Rome because those dainties of Rulers and the habit of receiving those gifts, gratuities, and benefits at the expense of others, will degenerate society.
The Modern Church and their "blind guides" have returned the people to the "bondage of Egypt", where they have become human resources, and curse children with debt with their appetite for the "legal charity" of the welfare state.
Does your Daily bread come by faith, hope and charity, or is it provided by the force, fear and fealty of modern pharaohs like FDR and LBJ and full of leaven of the Pharisees with the sweetness sucked out of it and you and the masses back in the Bondage of Egypt?

Leaven

The word leaven as a noun is defined:

  1. An agent, such as yeast, that causes batter or dough to rise, especially by fermentation.
  2. An element, influence, or agent that works subtly to lighten, enliven, or modify a whole.
  3. Any substance that produces, or is designed to produce, fermentation, as in dough or liquids; esp., a portion of fermenting dough, which, mixed with a larger quantity of dough, produces a general change in the mass, and renders it light; yeast.

According to these modern definitions we see that leaven generally is a reference to a "substance" that "causes" a dough to rise through "fermentation" or some other "agent".

But the second definition is clearly not about either yeast nor bread but an "element, influence, or agent that works subtly to lighten, enliven, or modify a whole."

The etymology of the word leaven is from the "Latin levamen, which in literary use meant 'alleviation, mitigation,' but in Vulgar Latin it had a literal sense of 'means of lifting'" and is the source of words like alleviate, legerdemain (Deceitful cleverness), levy...

Biblical leaven

We see in Exodus 12 that the memorial[4] of the Passover would require that the bread eaten would have to be unleavened bread.

Does this statement concerning the memorial and the eating of flat bread made without yeast really just about unleavened bread or is there a deeper meaning in the ritual of the memorial that has been forgotten?

The appearance of the word leaven in the Bible is often meant as a metaphor for the idea of a negative influence, evil, or iniquity that subtly modifies the whole of society. Can it be symbolic of forms or systems of oppression and cruelty within society in numerous ways?

In the allegories and parables of the Bible wheat can represent men to be harvested, thrashed, or ground I to flour. Bread can include that with is collected and distributed for the welfare of society.

Corrupting leaven

The means and methods of that collection and redistribution may be described by the use of leavened and unleavened bread:

  1. Leaven can represent something inserted into society that feeds the "evil inclinations" of the heart like greed or covetousness which has often contributed to the degeneration of the masses throughout history.
  2. Philo writes about the puffed up suggesting that leaven by its nature is "intimating that no one who comes to the altar ought at all to allow himself to be elated, being puffed up by insolence; but that such persons may keep their eyes fixed on the greatness of God".[5]
  3. Leaven is seen as evil inclination in some Jewish traditions where, “The Rabbis regarded hametz [leaven] as the symbol of the evil inclination. The ‘yeast in the dough’ (the evil impulse that causes ferment in the heart) prevents human beings from carrying out the will of God (Bereshit 17a). Hametz also represents human haughtiness and conceit.[6] Just as leaven puffs up dough, so human arrogance cause[s] us to believe that we, not God, control our destiny.” [7]
  4. The leaven in Luke 12 caused the masses to "trode"[1] upon one another. This has been said to be a reflection of future corrupting influences in the Church. It is a warning to the Pharisees and those who would follow the way of their leaven which has become a present "corrupting influence".[8]
  5. Leviticus 23:4-6, the doctrine of Moses was always in conformity with Christ His and prohibition and warnings concerning leaven was never about dough and yeast which were merely metaphors. Once metaphors were unmoored from their true meaning the laws of the Pharisees became a stumblingblock of religious rituals identified as the "leaven of the Pharisees"[9] making the word of God to none effect.


The leaven of Heaven

  1. We see leaven used to describe the kingdom of Heaven in Matthew 13:[33] "Another parable spake he unto them; The kingdom of heaven is like unto leaven[10], which a woman took, and hid in three measures of meal, till the whole was leavened."
  2. And again to describe the kingdom of God in Luke 13:20 "And again he said, Whereunto shall I liken the kingdom of God? 21 It is like leaven[10], which a woman took and hid in three measures of meal, till the whole was leavened."
  3. And even in the non-canonical Gospel of Thomas (logion 96‐) or the "The Ethiopic Didascalia"[11]
  4. Leaven is projected by some as a "sexual perversion or promiscuity". But that may only be a distraction from the real sin found in coveting the reward of unrighteousness by way of the unrighteousness mammon which included the Corban of Herod and the pharisees. The practices of "sexual perversion or promiscuity" are symptoms of "national adultery" and "covetous fornication" with their application to eat at the tables of the goddesses of Social welfare.
    Some say 1 Corinthians 5:1–8 seems to say that someone in their midst was committing "pornia". Pornia is clearly a metaphor for "the worship of idols". The modern consensus is the author is talking about someone sleep with their step mother but that seems out of context. Are they actually addressing a dependence on the unrighteous mammon provided by the Turtledove goddesses found providing social welfare in those pagan temples like those of Sumer. That practice or appetite for her dainties is seen by Paul as fornication if not adultery, and even idolatry because of the covetous nature of public religion provide through the governments of the gentiles who exercise authority.[12]
  5. The recorded sayings and doctrine of Jesus makes it clear that leaven has nothing to do with bread or yeast but is the result of the pride of the Pharisees, Sadducees, and Herod.

Matstsah

A Hebrew word for "unleavened bread or cake" is matstsah[13] MemZtadikHey but the word in verse 17[14] is maṣṣōwṯ (מַצּ֣וֹת) MemZtadikVavTav.

Matzoh is said to be "bread baked without leaven" and this word "Leaven" ש א ר(shin-alef-reish) has been seen as an anagram for the "firstborn" ר א שׁ (reish-aleph-shin).

Some see the word like in memtavbeittzadik as a form of matbeitstsah[13] broken down "mot" מ ת (the serpent of death) with ב as the "home" of the "righteous one," represented by the Tzadik צ which makes some see the word mem-tav (mot) is the word for "death."

The word in Exodus 12:15[15] 07603 שְׂאֹר‎ sëor which is ShinAlefReish [16] which is from the verb shar said to mean to leave[17]

In fact the casual reading of the text by verse 19[18] there are those that believe that anyone who "eateth that which is leavened, even that soul shall be cut off[19] from the congregation of Israel."

But have the people unmoored the meaning of the ritual making the practices of leaven and unleavend bread into a form of idolatry by worshiping the symbols of corruption. Most commentaries are explaining that leaven was regarded as produced by corruption as is suggested in Exodus 23:18.

"Paul twice quotes the saying, ‘A little leaven[20] leaveneth the whole lump’ (1 Corinthians 5:6, Galatians 5:9), with reference to moral corruption: and in 1 Corinthians 5:7-8, with evident reference to that injunction, bids Christians ‘clear away the old leaven,’ and ‘keep the feast’ of their Passover, Christ (i.e. live the Christian life), with the ‘unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.’"[21]

What difference does fluffy bread vs thin bread really make to God? Was there there a much deeper and more practical meaning that was later turned into a trivial ritual by Pharisees? How did the idea of "leaven" relate to the governance of a nation of free people?<Br Leaven bread the free bread of oppression?[22]

The sour leaven

The Hebrew word Chametz means any grain in which fermentation has occurred. It is related to the word said to be chamutz, which means "sour" or "to sour". That process of souring through fermentation is breaking the complex starch into sugars and into alcohol, and carbon dioxide. The bacteria that produces this anaerobic change starts the fermentation is everywhere. But the leaven that we should beware of is that leaven of the Pharisees.[9]by


Daily bread of Rome and now Herod and the Pharisees was provided in a similar manner to that of Nimrod and Pharaoh which "sucked the sweetness out" of their society while they were in the Bondage of Egypt?

Jesus used the term leaven[20] several times in reference to the leaven of the Pharisees.

It is clearly another of those metaphors built into the Hebrew language and thinking.

Leaven by its nature is something that even in small a quantity, may influence everything. It could be used as a good influence or in a good sense[23] or a pernicious influence or in a bad sense which we see with the leaven of the Pharisees.[24]

A new doctrine

Pharisees were clearly creating new doctrines through false interpretations and their Sophistry for years but it was the Corban of the Pharisees that was truly making the word of God to none effect.

The man made doctrine which strained at gnats swallowed a camel of lies was the result of vanity which caused them to hate the "light" and love the darkness. Their heart were as hard as that of the pharaoh and they would not let the people go out of their civil law contract with the public religion at the temples built by Herod.

The citizens of Judea had become members of a welfare system funded by forced offerings rather than the freewill offerings of Moses. This had been done through a new program where membership was recorded through the Baptism of Herod. No one was allowed to leave those systems until the Pharisees were so angry with Jesus that they made a law that would thrust them out.[25]

Their pride in their doctrines allowed took their ability to see the truth away from them. This blindness to the truth required them to put an emphasis on rituals and form, words and phrases which they saw in the letter of the scriptures with their limited understanding but failed to attend to the weightier matters.

They often did this by denying alternative uses and meaning of Hebrew words or by altering their meaning through Sophistry. They had offered a New Deal through the government of Herod to provide that public religion which Christ would forbid for his followers.[12]

That is hard for many to understand because they read the text of the Bible in the shadow of the tree of knowledge. This may be better understood if we look at the origin of the word from which we get the term leaven.


Words of leaven

What are the Hebrew words for leaven and what are they a metaphor for in spirit?
Can the letters ChetMemTzadik mean leaven or vinegar or violence or cruelty or grievous?
02556 Chamets (חָמֵץ) ChetMemTzadik = v; leaven or cruel and grievous[26]
02557 Chamets (חָמֵץ) ChetMemTzadik = n; leaven[27]
02558 Chomets (חָמֵץ) ChetMemTzadik = n; vinegar[28]

02554 Chamac (חָמָס‎) ChetMemSamech = v; violence violated [29]
02555 Chamac (חָמָס‎) ChetMemSamech = n; violence cruelty [30]

Can the letters MemTzadikHey mean leaven or to drain or suck out?
04682 Matstsah (מַצָּה) MemTzadikHey from (מָצַץ‎)[31] greedily devour = unleavened bread[13]
04680 Matsah(מָצָה‎) MemTzadikHey = v; to drain, suck out[32]
Can the letters ShinAlefReish mean leaven or remain or flesh or food or body?
07603 Seor (שְׂאֹר‎) ShinAlefReish = leaven[16]
07604 Shaar (שְׂאֹר‎) ShinAlefReish = v; leave or remain[33]
07605 Shear (שְׂאֹר‎) ShinAlefReish = n; remnant[34]
07606 Shear (שְׂאֹר‎) ShinAlefReish = n; remainder[35]
07607 Sheer (שְׂאֹר‎) ShinAlefReish = n; flesh, food, body[36]

01320 Basar (בָּשָׂר‎‎) BeitAlefReish = n; flesh, body[37]
01319 Basar (בָּשָׂר‎‎) BeitAlefReish = v; to bear news[38]
01318 Bashac (בָּשַׁס‎) BeitAlefReish = n; trample[39], Bashac[40]
01317 boshnah (בָּשְׁנָה‎‎) BeitAlefNunHey = n; shame[41], boshnah[42]

The "flesh pots" of Exodus 16 include the same two words Basar[43] and Ciyr[44] are describing the idea of the "cities of blood" and the cauldron of flesh in Ezekiel 11[45] and also in Micah[46]

If you are treading[40] on your neighbor through ministers who exercise authority your house is full of leaven and you have returned to the flesh pots when you were in the Bondage of Egypt and have been building the cities of blood.

In Hosea 10:6 they "shall receive shame"[40] because they have built the cities of blood and filled the flesh pots of covetous practices that bring you back into bondage of Egypt and fill your houses with leaven.

Double Tzadik

There are numerous double letters that are arranged in the Hebrew text and this is said to include the double Tzadik which would appear as matsats[47] in the Bible as the root word of a very common word that represents something we can physically have in our house, our hand and our food but actually also represents a moral idea or concept that is intrinsically related to covetous practices and corruption.

Isaiah 66:11 "That ye may suck, and be satisfied with the breasts of her consolations; that ye may milk out <04711>, and be delighted with the abundance of her glory."

It should also be noted that in the actual text where this Hebrew word matsats[47] is said to appear it is not written with its double Tzadik but as tāmōṣṣū or TavMemTzadikVav (תָּמֹ֛צּוּ).

The letter צ ץ Tzadik is always related to The Faith of the Righteous One, the foundation of the word "to hunt" or Harvest even eat or desire. [Harvest, pant, desire] (Numeric value: 90)

If double letters are often a reference to the spirit and truth dynamic of a cause and effect universe where the spiritual and physical realms echo evidence of the singularity of creation and the God of creation then what does a double Tzadik indicate?

A key to understanding the dynamics of the double Tzadik is to know that the word matsats which appears only this once in the Bible is also the root word for the term leaven or matstsah[13].

We may ask why but again Hebrew is composed of letters that have meanings and if we alter the letters we may be altering the use of the word and its meaning. It may require a different way of thinking about language as something not merely composed of symbols and their meanings but with a more spiritual dynamic.

Is it clearly understood in the teachings of Moses that yeast in the bread at Passover is only part of a rituals and ceremonies which is meant to warn us about the spirit the leaven symbolizes in that root word matsats[47] which is written by letters in the text representing a source of spiritual corruption "in the sense of greedily devouring (the) sweetness" of something.

We need to be finding out if there is spiritual corruption found in our our practices of our daily ministration that is sucking out the sweetness of our soul and the soul of society?

Those who unmoor meaning from their forms of rituals and ceremonies strangle the spirit that gives life and fall into a prison where the letter killeth.[48] But those who read the text with the light of the Holy Spirit, instead of in the shadows of the tree of knowledge, may be guided through the currents and eddies of language of definitions and dogma. It may also be significant to note that the verb preceding it which is anog[49] AyinNunGimel (עָנַג) but what we see in the text is wəhiṯ‘annaḡtem VavHeyTavAyinNunGimelTavMem (וְהִתְעַנַּגְתֶּ֖ם).

These two words have numerous additional letters including the appearance of three Tavs. Moses only uses the word anog[49] once and not in a good sense.[50] but in Isaiah 66:11 the term is surrounded by the letter of faith which flows in in a process of sacrifice.

These that are blessed in these verses 10 through 14 stand in contrast to those earlier in verses 3 and 4,[51]

Do these same principles apply to the rituals and ceremonies of circumcision of the flesh and circumcision of the heart?

No new doctrine of God

There is no new doctrine of God for God, the will of God and Right Reason are the same today as it was yesterday.

The creation of new doctrines with often fictional and private interpretations by the pharisees was part of what Jesus meant when he referred to the need to "Beware of the Leaven of the Pharisees[24] which through their Corban would make the word of God to none effect.

What is the leaven and corban of your house?

Listen to the Leaven of blood.

  2. ↑ Covetousness is idolatry
    Colossians 3:5 "Mortify therefore your members which are upon the earth; fornication, uncleanness, inordinate affection, evil concupiscence, and covetousness, which is idolatry: 6 For which things’ sake the wrath of God cometh on the children of disobedience:"
    Ephesians 5:5 "For this ye know, that no whoremonger, nor unclean person, nor covetous man, who is an idolater, hath any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God."
    1 Corinthians 5:10 "Yet not altogether with the fornicators of this world, or with the covetous, or extortioners, or with idolaters; for then must ye needs go out of the world. 11 But now I have written unto you not to keep company, if any man that is called a brother be a fornicator, or covetous, or an idolater, or a railer, or a drunkard, or an extortioner; with such an one no not to eat."
  3. ↑ Bread of oppression
    Matthew 16:6 "Then Jesus said unto them, Take heed and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees... 11 How is it that ye do not understand that I spake [it] not to you concerning daily bread, that ye should beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees? 12 Then understood they how that he bade [them] not beware of the leaven of bread, but of the doctrine of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees.
    Mark 8:15 "And he charged them, saying, Take heed, beware of the leaven of the Pharisees, and [of] the leaven of Herod."
    Matthew 16:11 "How is it that ye do not understand that I spake [it] not to you concerning bread, that ye should beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees?"
    Mark 8:15 "And he charged them, saying, Take heed, beware of the leaven of the Pharisees, and of the leaven of Herod."
    Luke 12:1 "In the mean time, when there were gathered together an innumerable multitude of people, insomuch that they trode one upon another, he began to say unto his disciples first of all, Beware ye of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy."
    Jesus and John the Baptist opposed the leaven of Herod, the Pharisees and of the Sadducees because they misinterpreted the way of Moses and the LORD. They collected the resources for their tables of welfare, their social safety net of free bread and care for the needy of society through forced offerings. Peter, Paul, David, and the prophets have been warned us that such covetous practices were setting a snare and a trap. Herod and the Pharisees had set up a system of legal charity rather than fervent charity which always makes the word of God to none effect so that Christ would say the kingdom of God shall be taken from them and given to a nation bringing forth the fruits. We should know that their system "degenerates" the "masses" until they become "perfect savages". Legal charity and its benefits and dainties provided through men who exercise authority are the wages of unrighteousness and the covetous practices that makes men merchandise and will curse children.
