Yeast (Heb. jâmêts and í’e’ôr; Gr. zúm’). Fermentation-producing substance that was/is used to raise various types of dough. The first biblical reference to leaven is related to the institution of the Feast of Unleavened Bread*, on the eve of the departure of the Hebrews from Egypt. During this festival it was not to be found in homes (Exo 12:15-20; 13:3-7). No grain offering made with it was to be presented (Lev 2:11); it was to be eaten without this leaven in a holy place (6:15-17). The prophet Amos ironically invited apostate Israelites to offer sacrifices containing leaven (Amos 4:5), a forbidden practice. However, leavened loaves were to be offered with certain offerings (Lev 7:13; 23:17). Jesus compared the penetrating quality of his teachings to the action of leaven on dough (Matt 13:33; Luk 13:20, 21). He did the same to illustrate the persuasive influence of the doctrines of the Pharisees and Sadducees, and that of Herod (Matt 16:6, 12; Mark 8:15). Paul, referring to the Judaizers in his midst, warned the Galatian Christians that “a little leaven leavens the whole lump” (Gal. 5:9), and advised the Corinthians to cleanse themselves of the old leaven and come to be a new mass (1Co 5:6, 7).

microscopic fungi that have the ability to carry out the fermentation of carbohydrates. Most of the L. that is cultivated belongs to the genus Saccharomyces, like l. of bread that are species of the Saccharomyces cerevisiae. It reproduces through a process called budding. This he. it makes the bread rise by releasing carbon dioxide, which is included in the dough. The Egyptians were the first to discover that letting the dough ferment produced gases, which made the bread lighter. Formerly the l. it was extracted from the same mass once it had rested and was kept until the moment of kneading again, with which the fungus was preserved. When the l. was added to the fresh dough, it all turned sour.

The l is used. in the Bible in a figurative sense: Jesus tells his disciples to beware of the l. of the Pharisees and Sadducees, meaning to beware of the doctrine of the Pharisees and Sadducees, Mt 16, 5-12.

Jesus compares the Kingdom of Heaven with the l. Lk 13, 20-21.

Levi, my husband will love me, since I have given him three sons, Gn 29, 34. 1. Third son of Jacob and Leah, his first wife, born in Padán Aram, eponym of the Levites. He avenged the rape of his sister Dinah by Shechem, attacking, together with his brother Simon, the city of Shechem, killing every male, Gn 34, 25. As a result of this act, L. and Simon were cursed by Jacob, predicting that their offspring would be scattered in Israel, Gn 49, 7; his tribes were later absorbed by other tribes. L. had three sons: Gershon, Quehat and Merari, Gn 46, 11. He lived in Egypt with Jacob, where he died at the age of one hundred and thirty-seven, Ex 6, 16. 2. L., son of Alphaeus, Hebrew name of the Apostle Matthew.

Leaven was strictly excluded from meal offerings (Exo 29:2, Exo 29:23, Exo 29:32; Lev 2:1-16; Lev 6:14-23; Lev 7:9-10; Lev 8: 2, Lev 8:26, Lev 8:31; Lev 10:12; Num 15:1-9, Num 15:17-21; Num 18:9, compare Exo 23:18; Exo 34:15). It represented corruption and therefore was symbolic of sin. It was allowed in some other offerings (Exo 23:15; Exo 34:22-23; Lev 2:11; Lev 7:13-14; Lev 23:17-18; Num 15:20), perhaps to indicate that the Leaven as part of the daily meal symbolizes the sin that is still inherent in the one who bows down to worship. Leaven was excluded from the Passover (Exo 12:14-20; Exo 23:15; Exo 34:18; Deu 16:2-4) because of the urgent way Israel fled Egypt (Exo 12:11, Exo 12:29; Deu 16:3) and by the fact that leaven was a type of Christ who was completely free from corruption (compare 1Co 5:7-8). The sinful northern kingdom (Amo 4:5) mixed what was permitted (Lev 7:13; Lev 23:17) with what was prohibited (Exo 23:18; Exo 34:25; Lev 2:11). In the NT leaven symbolizes either Jewish legalism (Mat 16:6, Mat 16:12; Gal 5:9) or moral corruption (1Co 5:6ff.).

Substance that is introduced into the flour dough to produce its fermentation. On the Passover feast they ate loaves without l. (Exo 12:8, Exo 12:39). For seven days unleavened bread would be eaten. Many scholars think that the symbolism of this is that on that day when the exodus occurred, the Israelites had to eat the Passover with the attitude of one about to go on a journey (“with your loins girded, your shoes on your feet, and your staff in your hand; and you shall eat it hastily: it is the LORD’s Passover. That’s why the breads had to be without it, because there was no time to wait for the fermentation process. When Abraham was visited by the three men † he œbaked loaves without l.† for them (Gen 19: 3). A good many of the prescribed offerings included breads or cakes without it. (Exo 29:2, Exo 29:23; Lev 2:4), because “no offering that you offer to the Lord shall be with him” (Lev 2:11).

In the NT, the l. It is used metaphorically in both a positive and a negative sense. On the one hand, “the kingdom of heaven is like the l. which a woman took and hid in three measures of flour, until it was all leavened† (Mat 13:33). In this parable the l. it serves to show how the kingdom would grow and its influence in the world. On the other hand, the Lord Jesus said to his disciples: “Beware of the l. of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy† (Luke 12:1), pointing out their inflated attitude, which did not correspond to the reality of their sinful interior. Paul also uses the l. to warn against the infiltration of unhealthy ideas and customs among believers (1Co 5:6-8).

vet, Substance used to leaven and rise the dough (Ex. 12:15, 19; 13:7). In biblical times, a piece of soured dough was used for this. Leaven was prohibited in the offerings that were to be consumed on the altar; those that were partaken could have it (Ex. 7:13; 23:17). Leaven, agent of corruption, is the emblem of pernicious doctrines (Mt. 16:11; Mr. 8:15), of wickedness (1 Cor. 5:6-8; Gal. 5:9), of that we have to guard totally. During the Passover, the Israelites were neither to eat leavened bread, nor even to have leaven in their houses, under penalty of being cut off from their people (Ex. 12:15, 19). The absence of leaven symbolized the purity that God demands of his servants. This was also a reminder of their departure from Egypt, as the Israelites took the unfermented dough with them. The blandness of this unleavened bread would serve as a reminder of the afflictions of Egypt (Ex. 12:34, 39; Deut. 16:3; 1 Cor. 5:7, 8). The parable of the leaven (Mt. 13:33) has been variously interpreted. Certain commentators have thought they saw in it an image of the saturating influence of the Gospel that, in a perhaps hidden way, penetrates all media and the entire earth (cf. Col. 1:16). However, it should be noted that in all other biblical passages leaven is consistently a symbol of wickedness. In the same way that the tares are mixed with the wheat until the harvest (Mt. 13:24-30), so the leaven introduced into the flour produces a ferment of corruption that will increase until the apostasy and the judgment that is to come. fall on it (Mt. 24:12; 2 Thess. 2:3). In this sense it is used by Paul in 1 Cor. 5:6-8 and Gal. 5:9, so the optimistic interpretation is invalid. The parable of the tares and that of the leaven show different aspects of the same reality: the process of corruption leading to apostasy within the testimony of the Church on earth until the intervention of the Lord in judgment on an apostate Christendom (cf. Lk 18:8, 1 Tim 4:1, 2 Tim 3:1-5, etc.). Thus, “until all was leavened,” instead of meaning that the whole world will be won to the Gospel, has a diametrically opposite meaning.

Microscopic fungus that ferments bread dough, or other products, and acquires a better flavor and presentation to present food.

The Israelites, like most of the primitive peoples, knew the use of these yeast ferments and used them, even with a ritual character, such as when preparing the unleavened bread with which they commemorated the precipitation of the exit from Egypt (Num. 9.11 ).

In the New Testament up to 26 times yeast is spoken of (“dsyme”, or “adsymos”), which indicates not only its allusive use to the product, but also the symbolic value that was always attributed to it.

In the times in which the texts were written, the yeast’s symbology is clear: It is the symbol of the Kingdom of Heaven (Mt. 13.33; Lk. 13.21); it is of the good example and good doctrine (1 Cor. 5.6; Gal. 5.9) It is also of the evil that affects those who imitate the bad. (Lk. 12.1; Mc 8.15)

Sourdough, which is applied to the new and fresh dough to make it ferment and to be able to make bread. Based on this task of daily life, Jesus Christ elaborates a parable to illustrate the nature of the kingdom (Mt 13,33; Lk 13,21). Leaven, fermented material, and therefore corrupted in some way, is also used in a pejorative sense, as an element of moral corruption, which must be avoided and discarded (Mt 16,6. 11. 12; Mc 8,15; Lk 12,1). > ferment, parable of the.

(-> Azimos, Easter). Throughout the biblical tradition, leaven has an ambiguous meaning: it is certainly good for leavening bread, but, at the same time, it is linked with a type of impurity (related to disintegration) that makes it dangerous. Therefore, the bread for God’s offering is unleavened*, unleavened, as you remember…
