Arcana Coelestia (Elliott) n. 8060

8060. 'Unleavened bread shall be eaten seven days' means that they are to be purified thoroughly from falsities. This is clear from the meaning of 'eating unleavened bread' as making good purified from falsities one's own, as just above in 8058, and since the words here repeat the command they mean that the purification must be done thoroughly; and from the meaning of 'seven days' as that which is holy and also a complete state, dealt with above in 8058.
