"Watch out for the yeast of the Pharisees and Sadducees."

Context: • The Hebrew word חָמֵץ (chametz) is most commonly associated with leavened bread, which is prohibited during certain Jewish festivals, such as Passover. The prohibition is rooted in the command to eat unleavened bread, symbolizing purity and the haste of the Israelites' departure from Egypt.
