Circumcision and Passover at Gilgal; the manna stops

1451 BCUssher date

Joshua 5

At Gilgal the new generation was circumcised and kept Passover, and the day after they ate the produce of Canaan, the manna stopped.

The manna ceased on the next day, after they had eaten of the produce of the land. The children of Israel didn’t have manna any more, but they ate of the fruit of the land of Canaan that year.

Joshua 5:12 (World English Bible)

The sign of the covenant had been neglected in the wilderness. Now the whole generation received it, and God said he had “rolled away the reproach of Egypt,” giving Gilgal its name. Near Jericho, Joshua met a man with a drawn sword, the commander of Yahweh's army, and was told to take off his sandals because the ground was holy.
