(接上面未完的一句)——因你心里或会说:经上既写着「你吃这祭牲,不可吃有酵的饼;七日之内要吃无酵饼」(申命记 16:3),人本可以为凡在吃 无酵饼 这本分之内的,也在不可吃酵饼的禁之内;而妇人既不在吃 无酵饼 的本分之内(那是按时而行的当行诫命,妇人通例是免的),我便可说她们也不在不可吃酵饼的禁之内。故经上教我们:妇人也不可吃酵饼。

——因你心里或会说:经上既写着「你吃这祭牲,不可吃有酵的饼;七日之内要吃 无酵饼」(申命记 16:3),人本可以为,凡在吃 无酵饼 这本分之内的,也在「不可吃酵饼」的禁之内。
as it could enter your mind to say that since it is written: “You shall eat no leavened bread with it; seven days you shall eat with it matzot” (Deuteronomy 16:3), one might have thought that anyone included in the obligation to eat matza is also included in the prohibition against eating leavened bread.

而这些妇人既不在吃 无酵饼 的本分之内——那是按时而行的当行诫命,妇人通例是免的——我便可说她们也不在「不可吃酵饼」的禁之内。
And these women, since they are excluded from the obligation to eat matza, as it is a time-bound, positive mitzva from which they are exempt as a rule, I might say they are also excluded from the prohibition against eating leavened bread.

故经上教我们:妇人也是不可吃酵饼的。
Therefore, the verse teaches us that women are also prohibited from eating leavened bread.
