Ye shall eat nothing leavened,.... Bread or anything else that had any leaven in it:
in all your habitations shall ye eat unleavened bread, that is, if they eat any bread at all, it must be such; otherwise they might eat cakes of almonds or of eggs mixed with sugar, provided there was no leaven used, and this the Jews call the rich unleavened bread (p): this is repeated over and over, that they might be the more careful of observing this precept; but as this was limited for a certain time, it plainly appears to be a mistake of Tacitus (q) the Roman historian, who represents unleavened bread as the bread the Jews eat of in common.

20. in all your habitations] i.e. throughout the land generally. Another of P’s standing expressions: Exo_35:3, Lev_3:17; Lev_7:26; Lev_23:3; Lev_23:14; Lev_23:21; Lev_23:31, Num_35:29; cf. Eze_6:6; Eze_6:14.
21–27 (J). Moses gives the people directions for the observance of the Passover. As Di. has shewn, the passage cannot be the real sequel to vv. 1–13. Moses does not here repeat to the elders, even in an abridged form, the injunctions before received by him; but while, with the one exception of the application of the blood to the lintel and side posts of the door, nearly all of the many particulars laid down in vv. 1–13 are omitted, fresh points (the hyssop, the basin, none to leave the house till the morning), not mentioned before, are added. The inference is irresistible that Exo_12:21-23 is really part of a different account (i.e. J’s) of the institution of the Passover, which ‘stands to Exo_12:3-13 in the same relation in which the regulations respecting Maẓẓoth in Exo Exo_13:3-10 stand to those in Exo_12:14-20’ (Di. p. 100; ed. 2, p. 111).

Here again there is no repetition, but an extension. "Ye shall eat nothing leavened," not only no leavened bread (ver. 15), but no leavened cake of any kind. And in all your habitations shall ye eat unleavened bread," i.e. , wherever ye dwell, whether in Egypt, or in the wilderness, or in Palestine, or in Babylonia, or in Media, this law shall be observed. So the Jews observe it everywhere to this day, though they no longer sacrifice the Paschal lamb.
