Leaven (yeast)
Unleavened bread
Leaven: 1. Heb. seor (Exodus 12:15,19; 13:7; Leviticus 2:11) the remnant of dough from the preceding baking which had fermented and become acid.

2. Heb. hamets, properly "ferment." In (Numbers 6:3) "vinegar of wine" is more correctly "fermented wine." In (Exodus 13:7) the proper rendering would be, "Unfermented things [Heb. matstsoth] shall be consumed during the seven days; and there shall not be seen with thee fermented things [hamets], and there shall not be seen with thee leavened mass [seor] in all thy borders." The chemical definition of ferment or yeast is "a substance in a state of putrefaction, the atoms of which are in a continual motion." The use of leaven was strictly forbidden in all offerings made to the Lord by fire (Leviticus 2:11; 7:12; 8:2; Numbers 6:15) Its secretly penetrating and diffusive power is referred to in (1 Corinthians 5:6) In this respect it is used to illustrate the growth of the kingdom of heaven both in the individual heart and in the world

(Matthew 13:33) It is a figure also of corruptness and of perverseness of heart and life (Matthew 16:6,11; Mark 8:15; 1 Corinthians 5:7,8)
