Exegesis
The temporal conjunction heos hou {ἕως οὗ | héōs hoû} ‘until’ introduces a result clause with the passive verb ezymothe {ἐζυμώθη | ezymṓthē} ‘was leavened’, and the adjective holon {ὅλον | hólon} ‘whole’ refers to the entire mass of dough. This progression from comparison to hidden action and culminating transformation underscores how a small element permeates and ultimately transforms the whole.
