Have you noticed how many times yeast is mentioned here? It seems like God was having a yeast day, it is almost comical the number of times it is mentioned. Why? Well whatever medical reasons there might have been at the time, the metaphor relates to Jesus saying that yeast is like teaching. Teaching has a habit of permeating people in the same way that yeast permeates dough. We know that God does not like mixture and does not like human teaching interfering with His purposes and what better way to nail this home by celebrating every year that it was GOD who freed His people from Egypt with no input needed from anyone else. All the supernatural signs and miracles occurred despite Moses, not because of him!
We regularly need to remind ourselves of this fact since we spend a lot of time putting our own effort into God's work and mostly mucking it up in the process!
