unleaved (bread, cake), without leaven.
Looking for Greek G4682 sparássō? It has the same number in Strong's Greek lexicon but is a different word, not a translation of H4682. Strong's numbering starts again for each language.
When matstsâh is spoken over you, Doxa is where you record what was said, in the words it was said in, weigh it against Scripture with people you trust, and return to it in a year.

When matstsâh is spoken over you
Words like this one get spoken over people: in a prayer line, in a message from a friend, in a moment nobody planned. The lexicon gives you what matstsâh means. What God is saying to you through it is yours to record and weigh.
Doxa is where you record what was said, in the words it was said in, weigh it against verses like Exodus 12:8 with people you trust, and return to it in a year to see what came of it.
