Exegesis
The adjective matsah {מַצָּ֥ה | maṣṣāh} ‘unleavened’ precedes the verb tihyeh {תִהְיֶֽה | tihyēh}, a Qal imperfect with jussive force, imposing divine command. The sequence of mixing followed by exclusion of leaven emphasizes the offering’s ritual purity.
In context — Leviticus 2:5
And if your offering is a grain offering made on the griddle, it shall be fine flour mixed with oil and unleavened .
