Dough

A little leaven works through the whole batch of dough.

Your boasting is not good. Do you not know that a little leaven works through the whole batch of dough?

Throughout your generations, you are to give the LORD an offering from the first of your dough.

So the people took their dough before it was leavened, carrying it on their shoulders in kneading bowls wrapped in clothing.

If the first part of the dough is holy, so is the whole batch; if the root is holy, so are the branches.
