"In all of your habitations shall you eat matzoth": What is the intent of this?

It is, therefore, written "in all of your habitations"—to exclude this (tithe), which is not eaten in all places (but only in Jerusalem). And whence is it derived that he does not fulfill his obligation, neither with the show-bread, nor with the left-overs of meal-offerings, nor with the thanksgiving challoth, nor with the wafers of the Nazirite, nor with first-fruits? From "in all of your habitations shall you eat matzoth"—to exclude those, which are not eaten in all of your habitations.
