"And the children of Israel encamped in Gilgal; and they kept the passover on the fourteenth day of the month at even in the plains of Jericho. And they did eat of the produce of the land on the morrow after the passover, unleavened cakes and parched grain, in the selfsame day. And the manna ceased on the morrow, after they had eaten of the produce of the land; neither had the children of Israel manna any more; but they did eat of the fruit of the land of Canaan that year."There are only three... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Joshua 5:11

Ver. 11. And they did eat of the old corn of the land, &c.— i.e. of the corn of the preceding year, which they found in divers places, abandoned by the people on retiring to Jericho. However, the matter is not very certain, and several interpreters do not thus understand the Hebrew. They are of opinion, that it means as well the new corn as that of the foregoing year. See Poole's Synopsis. In the Hebrew it is, they ate of the produce of the land; and because the word עבור abur, which... read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Joshua 5:11

11, 12. And they did eat of the old corn of the land—found in storehouses of the inhabitants who had fled into Jericho. parched corn—new grain (see on :-), probably lying in the fields. Roasted—a simple and primitive preparation, much liked in the East. This abundance of food led to the discontinuance of the manna; and the fact of its then ceasing, viewed in connection with its seasonable appearance in the barren wilderness, is a striking proof of its miraculous origin. :-.

2. Circumcision and celebration of the Passover 5:1-12"This [fifth] chapter records four experiences which God brought to Joshua and the people, each one centered about a token, or symbol . . .

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Joshua 5:10-12

The Law prescribed that only members of the covenant community could eat the Passover. It was a memorial to God’s redemption of Israel out of Egyptian slavery in the Exodus. It symbolized God’s deliverance of His people from the tyranny of sin (cf. Exodus 12:43-51).In the Feast of Unleavened Bread that followed the Passover, the people were able to use the grain of the land to make bread (Joshua 5:11). God now provided for His people’s need for daily bread by giving them the produce of the land... read more

Renewal Of Circumcision And Celebration Of The PassoverThe two incidents recorded in Joshua 5:2-12;—Circumcision and the Passover—represent the final stage in the preparation of the people for the Holy War. The Circumcision was a necessary preliminary (Exodus 12:44, Exodus 12:48) to the Passover Feast, besides marking for the new generation a reversal of the sentence of ’excommunication ’virtually pronounced in Numbers 14:33-34;’; and the Passover—the first recorded celebration since the first... read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Joshua 5:11

(11) They did eat of the old corn.—The word occurs nowhere else except in Joshua 5:12. It need not have been last year’s corn; in fact, it seems to have been the produce of this very harvest. It seems to mean “that which was brought to them,” and was “the fruit” or “produce” of the land of Canaan, probably brought to the camp for sale. read more

Expositor's Dictionary of Texts - Joshua 5:1-15

The Ceasing of the Manna Joshua 5:12 There was a deep doctrine in the giving of the manna. There was a doctrine not less deep in its withdrawal. I. The ceasing of the manna should teach us that there is inevitable loss in all our gains. It was a great thing for Israel to gain the plains of Jericho, but when they had done so, they lost the bread of angels. We talk sometimes about the gains of our losses, and it is true that we often gain by what we lose. But remember that if we gain by what we... read more

CHAPTER X.CIRCUMCISION AND PASSOVER- MANNA AND CORN.Joshua 5:1-12. THE first two facts recorded in this chapter seem to be closely connected with each other. One is, that when all the Amorite and Canaanite kings on the west side of the Jordan heard of the miraculous drying up of the waters and the passage of the Israelites, "their heart melted, neither was there spirit in them any more." The other is, that the opportunity was taken then and there to circumcise the whole of the generation that... read more
