Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Deuteronomy 16:3

_ _ seven days shalt thou eat unleavened bread — a sour, unpleasant, unwholesome kind of bread, designed to be a memorial of their Egyptian misery and of the haste with which they departed, not allowing time for their morning dough to ferment.

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Deuteronomy 16:1-17.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Deuteronomy 16:3

With it — Or, in it, that is, during the time of the feast of the passover. Bread of affliction — Bread which is not usual nor pleasant, to put thee in mind both of thy miseries endured in Egypt; and of thy hasty coming out of it, which allowed thee no time to leaven or prepare thy bread.

(c) Which signified the affliction which you had in Egypt.
