Verse 7. Purge out therefore the old leaven] As it is the custom of the Jews previously to the passover to search their houses in the most diligent manner for the old leaven, and throw it out, sweeping every part clean; so act with this incestuous person. I have already shown with what care the Jews purged their houses from all leaven previously to the passover; see the note on Ex 12:8-19, and on the term passover, and Christ as represented by this ancient Jewish sacrifice; See Clarke on Ex 12:27, and my Discourse on the Nature and Design of the Eucharist.
