Exegesis
Two parallel prohibitions employ velo yeraeh {וְלֹא יֵרָאֶה | wə-lōʾ yērāʾeh} ‘and not shall be seen,’ each followed by chamets {חָמֵץ | ḥāmēṣ} ‘leaven’ and seor {שְׂאֹר | śəʾōr} ‘sourdough.’
In context — Exodus 13:7
You are to consume unleavened bread for seven days; no leavened bread is to be seen with you, and no leaven or sourdough is to be found within your territory .
