Deuteronomy 16:3 - Coke's Commentary on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

Ver. 3. Even the bread of affliction So called because it was insipid, and not easily digested, and therefore served to remind them of their afflicted state in Egypt. Concerning these several feasts, we refer to the passages in the Margins of our Bibles. The word passover, in ver. 2 signifies not only the paschal lamb, which was offered on the fourteenth day, but all the paschal service which followed after as appears by the next words, of the flock and the herd.

Deuteronomy 16:3

3 Thou shalt eat no leavened bread with it; seven days shalt thou eat unleavened bread therewith, even the bread of affliction; for thou camest forth out of the land of Egypt in haste: that thou mayest remember the day when thou camest forth out of the land of Egypt all the days of thy life.
