Bread with leaven is not given to the LORD. He is the Bread of life we are not to mix things with his purity.

3 visitors come o Abraham and one of them is the LORD. He has Sarah quickly make bread. The Passover the bread is made quickly also no leaven. Abraham is then told about a destruction of a people coming like that of the Egyptians.

Genesis 18:6 So Abraham ran back to the tent and said to Sarah, "Hurry ( quickly)! Get three large measures of your best flour, knead it into dough, and bake some bread."

The Angels came to Sodom and Lot gave them bread with out yeast ( without leaven)
Genesis 19:3 But he insisted so strongly that they did go with him and entered his house. He prepared a meal for them, baking bread without yeast, and they ate.

Gideon makes an offering for the LORD again it is without Leaven
Judges 6:19 Gideon went in, prepared a young goat, and from an ephah of flour he made bread without yeast. Putting the meat in a basket and its broth in a pot, he brought them out and offered them to him under the oak.

1 Corinthians 5:7 Cleanse out the old leaven that you may be a new lump, as you really are unleavened. For Christ, our Passover lamb, has been sacrificed
Leaven is put in bread it works subtly by fermentation to influence the bread to be puffed up.
Leaven is added to the purity of God’s words by the evilone and so so subtly corrupts the truth ( purity of God's word) to influence God’s Body (us ) to get puffed up in pride we become arrogant.

What / Who are the three measures? Who is the woman? (For discussions)

“The kingdom of heaven is like leaven that a woman took and hid in three measures of flour, till it was all leavened.” Matt 13:33
Three measures of flour is a huge abount of flour, about half a bushel, or six gallons.

Three measures illustrate the size of the kingdom.

Leaven would be the inner working of the Holy Spirit through God's word by which the kingdom of God grows.

EDIT:

Leaven is also required in other offerings (Lev 7:13, 23:17).

Nathan said:
It is used of the effects of evildoers (1Corinthians 5:6-8; 15:33).

Nathan said:
[SIZE=+1]In Levitcus 23:17 it is used in that which symbolizes mankind, and in a proper sense of being corrupted. The sin-offering associated with the leaven in the two wave-loaves corresponds with this.[/SIZE]
The offering in Lev 23:17 was an offering to the Lord of the Firstfruits of the wheat harvest at the Feast of Weeks, which commemorated the giving of the Law on Mt. Sinai.

The wave offering of the leavened wheat was in thanksgiving for their food, and it was eaten. It was not a symbol of mankind.

[SIZE=+1]Actually, leaven does not symbolize evil in Lev 7:13, 23:17; Mt 13:33.[/SIZE]
