'Dough' in the Bible

He told them another parable: "The kingdom of heaven is like yeast that a woman took and mixed with three measures of flour until all the dough had risen."

It is like yeast that a woman took and mixed with three measures of flour until all the dough had risen."

If the first part of the dough is holy, so is the whole batch. If the root is holy, so are the branches.

Your boasting is not good. Don’t you know that a little yeast permeates the whole batch of dough?

Get rid of the old yeast so that you may be a new batch of dough, since you are to be free from yeast. For the Messiah, our Passover, has been sacrificed.

A little yeast leavens the whole lump of dough.
