Ellen White & Bible Cross-Reference
Leviticus 2:11
"No meat offering, which ye shall bring unto the Lord, shall be made with leaven: for ye shall burn no leaven, nor any honey, in any offering of the Lord made by fire."
"Bread should be light and sweet. Not the least taint of sourness should be tolerated. The loaves should be small and so thoroughly baked that, so far as possible, the yeast germs shall be destroyed. When hot or new, raised bread of any kind is difficult of digestion. It should never appear on the table. This rule does not, however, apply to unleavened bread. Fresh rolls made of wheaten meal without yeast or leaven, and baked in a well-heated oven, are both wholesome and palatable. MH 301.2"
Both passages discuss the avoidance of leaven in certain food preparations. Leviticus prohibits leaven in offerings to God, while EGW advises against it in everyday bread for health reasons. The underlying principle of avoiding leaven connects them.
