the Unleavened (things)
| Root | ἄζυμος (azymos) |
| Core Meanings | unleavened, without leaven, unfermented, free from corruption |
| Semantic Range | literally unleavened bread; figuratively free from corruption or impurity; specifically the Feast of Unleavened Bread, the seven-day festival following Passover |
| Conceptual Significance | Refers to the Festival of Unleavened Bread, commemorating Israel’s hasty departure from Egypt and the removal of leaven from their dwellings. Leaven symbolizes corruption or sin in later biblical reflection, making the term emblematic of purification, covenant faithfulness, and redemption. |
| Morphological Notes | Noun (used substantively from adjective), nominative neuter plural; functioning as a proper name. The neuter plural form denotes a collective entity—specifically the festival period characterized by unleavened bread. |
| Rendering Rationale | The term derives from ἀ- (negative) and ζύμη (leaven), literally meaning "without leaven." Rendered as "the Unleavened (things)," it preserves the adjectival root sense while reflecting the neuter plural nominative form used substantively as a proper designation for the festival. The plural form conveys the collective observance associated with unleavened bread. |
