Exegesis
The prepositional phrase ʿalav {עָלָיו | ʿā·lāv} ‘upon it’ attaches both prohibition and command to the Passover offering.
In context — Deuteronomy 16:3
You shall not eat leavened bread with it. For seven days you shall eat unleavened bread with it, bread of affliction . For in haste you went out from the land of Egypt, so that you may remember the day of your coming out from the land of Egypt all the days of your life.
