Exegesis
The relative pronoun hen {ἣν | hḕn} ‘which’ introduces a relative clause referring back to this leaven, with the aorist participle labousa {λαβοῦσα | laboûsa} ‘having taken’ preceding its subject gune {γυνὴ | gynḕ} ‘woman’, yielding a circumstantial participle of means.
In context — Luke 13:21
It is like leaven that a woman took and hid in three measures of flour, until all of it was leavened.
