Exodus 12:15

Spanish RVR 1909 (Más información sobre Biblia Reina Valera 1909)

Siete días comeréis panes sin levadura; y así el primer día haréis que no haya levadura en vuestras casas: porque cualquiera que comiere leudado desde el primer día hasta el séptimo, aquella alma será cortada de Israel.

The message emphasizes the importance of obedience and purity during the Passover celebration.
