      Sa unang buwan ng ikalabing apat na araw ng buwan sa paglubog ng araw ay kakain kayo ng tinapay na walang lebadura, hanggang sa ikadalawang pu't isang araw ng buwan, sa paglubog ng araw.
      In the first month, on the fourteenth day of the month at even, ye shall eat unleavened bread, until the one and twentieth day of the month at even.
    • 1993, Justino Dormiendo, Doon po sa amin, may healer na magaling[1], page 21:
      Sa ikatlong aklat ni Walker (na kapwa nila sinulat ng dalubhasa sa preventive medicine na si Dr. John Parks Trowbridge), ang katas ng bawang din, aniya, ang pinakamahusay na panlaban sa sakit na nakukuha mula sa lebadura (yeast).
      In the third book of Walker (which was co-written by the preventive medicine expert Dr. John Parks Trowbridge), garlic extract, according to him, is also effective against diseases caused by yeast.
