Based on this, the Meshech Chochmah proceeds to draw our attention to a parallel verse at the end of the parsha regarding ownership of chametz on Pesach, which states: ‫ְוְ ֹלא ֵיֵָרָ ֶאֶ ה ְלְ ָך ְׂשֹׂאֹ ר ְּבּ ָכָל ְּגּ ֻבֻ ֶלֶָך‬ Leaven shall not be seen [i.e. Rabbi Immanuel Bernstein Parshas Bo - Between “Not Owning” and “Not Finding” | 2 Tefillin: A Sign and a Remembrance ‫ְוְָהָ ָיָה ְלְ ָך ְלְ אֹוֹת ַעַ ל ָיְָדָך ּוְלְ ִזִ ָּכּרֹוֹן ֵּבּ ין ֵעֵ יֶנֶיָך‬ It shall be for you a sign on your arm and a remembrance between your eyes.
