"Watch out for the yeast of the Pharisees and Sadducees." Usage: The term שְׂאֹר is used in the Hebrew Bible to refer to leaven or yeast, which is a fermenting agent. It is often mentioned in the context of prohibitions against leaven during certain religious observances, such as the Feast of Unleavened Bread. Context: שְׂאֹר (se'or) appears in the Hebrew Bible primarily in contexts related to the preparation and consumption of bread. It is a key element in the process of leavening, where it acts as a fermenting agent to cause dough to rise. The use of שְׂאֹר is notably restricted during specific religious observances, such as the Passover and the Feast of Unleavened Bread, where the Israelites were commanded to remove all leaven from their homes. This is seen in Exodus 12:15 (BSB): "For seven days you must eat unleavened bread. On the first day, you are to remove the leaven from your houses, for whoever eats anything leavened from the first day until the seventh day must be cut off from Israel."
