| Glenn, I appreciated that run down.
Of course, I could be wrong, (as I have often been), but it seems to me that the purpose behind the purging of leaven would be undermined if the leaven were simply "saved", just outside of homes. Leave it out there for 8 days? Then bring it back in... Did they bring back Egypt's leaven? Seems to me to run against the purpose.
I realize they might get attached to a certain "taste" of the bread, but it seems that was another one of those separation distinctives--no forever sourdough (homemade in the nation, maybe they could buy an old batch from the Sidonians). Pork loin is reeeeally tasty too, but off limits.
