Exegesis
Temporal markers ba’erev {בָּעֶ֛רֶב | bā-ʿe-rev} ‘in the evening’, bayom {בַּיּוֹם | ba-yom} ‘on the day’, and la-boker {לַבֹּקֶר׃ | la-bo-ker} ‘to the morning’ define the prohibited interval. The parallel syntax reinforces the absolute nature of the festival purity laws.
In context — Deuteronomy 16:4
And no leaven shall be seen in all your territory for seven days; nor shall any of the meat which you sacrifice on the evening of the first day remain until the morning.
