-The kingdom of heaven is likened to leaven. If leaven referred to 'sin' as some people say, this verse makes no sense. But leaven is 'teaching' as seen above. The number [[three]], in this parable, says the [[woman]] hid God's teaching, as a hint of the Trinity. Three portions of leaven are hidden in three lumps of [[meal]]. Meal is the harvest of the field (the church) which has gone through threshing and grinding (tribulation). There are three portions of meal because the church because the church is teh body of Christ.
