Joshua 5:11
Compare all
9 Then the Lord said to Joshua, “This day I have rolled away athe reproach of Egypt from you.” Therefore the name of the place is called bGilgal to this day.  
10 Now the children of Israel camped in Gilgal, and kept the Passover aon the fourteenth day of the month at twilight on the plains of Jericho.  
11 And they ate of the produce of the land on the day after the Passover, unleavened bread and1 parched grain, on the very same day.  
12 Then athe manna ceased on the day after they had eaten the produce of the land; and the children of Israel no longer had manna, but they ate the food of the land of Canaan that year.  

The Commander of the Army of the Lord

13 And it came to pass, when Joshua was by Jericho, that he lifted his eyes and looked, and behold, aa Man stood opposite him bwith His sword drawn in His hand. And Joshua went to Him and said to Him, “Are You for us or for our adversaries?”  
14 So He said, “No, but as Commander of the army of the Lord I have now come.” And Joshua afell on his face to the earth and bworshiped, and said to Him, “What does my Lord say to His servant?”

Joshua 5:11

Old corn of the land - Rather "produce of the land," the new grain just coming in at the time of the Passover. (So in Joshua 5:12.)

On the morrow after the passover - These words denote in Numbers 33:3 the 15th Nisan, but must here apparently mean the 16th. For the Israelites could not lawfully eat of the new grain until the first fruits of it had been presented, and this was done on "the morrow after the Sabbath," i. e. the morrow after the first day of Unleavened Bread, which was to be observed as a Sabbath, and is therefore so called. (Compare Leviticus 23:7, Leviticus 23:11, Leviticus 23:14.)

The term Passover, which is sometimes used for the lamb slain on the evening of the 14th Nisan, sometimes for the paschal meal, sometimes for the whole eight days' festival, here means the first great day of the eight, the Sabbath of the first holy convocation.
