What does Exodus 12:15 mean?

For seven days, don’t eat anything with yeast in it. On the first day, get rid of all the yeast in your houses. If anyone eats bread with yeast during these seven days, they’re out—they’re cut off from the community of Israel. Exodus 12:15 - Modern Text Bible

(Yeast represents corruption or old ways. Removing it is a sign of starting fresh. Eating it during this time means breaking trust with the group.)
