2 Corinthians 13:33 [4] This is the first time leaven is mentioned in the New Testament. See EXO 12:15 for the first mention of leaven in the Old Testament. The Hebrew word (seor) refers specifically to the leavening agent (as opposed to dough containing it), which today is thought of as yeast, a type of fungi. In Jewish thinking, leaven was symbolic of impurity and corruption. Jesus used it as a symbol for the corrupt and hypocritical teachings of the Pharisees and Sadducees (see especially LUK 12:1; cf MAT 16:11; MAK 8:15), but He also used leaven's ability to permeate a mass of dough many times its own size as an illustration of the spread of the kingdom of heaven as here and in LUK 13:21.
