What does Deuteronomy 16:6 mean?

For seven days, don’t let any yeast be found anywhere in your land. And don’t keep any of the meat from the Passover sacrifice overnight. Deuteronomy 16:6 - Modern Text Bible

(The absence of yeast and not saving leftovers both point to urgency and purity—no looking back, no holding on to the past.)
