Exegesis
The Qal imperfect tišmôr{תִּשְׁמֹר | tiš-môr} issues a covenant command, modified by the temporal clause šivʿat yāmîm{שִׁבְעַת יָמִים | šivʿat yāmîm} “seven days,” governing the action tōʾaḥal māṣṣōṯ{תֹּאכַל מַצּוֹת | tōʾaḥal māṣṣōṯ} “eat unleavened breads.”
In context — Exodus 23:15
You shall observe the Festival of Unleavened Bread for seven days and eat unleavened bread as I have commanded you at the appointed time in the month of Aviv, for in that month you went out from Egypt. No one shall appear before My face empty-handed.
