Context — The Circumcision and Passover at Gilgal
9Then the LORD said to Joshua, “Today I have rolled away the reproach of Egypt from you.” So that place has been called Gilgal to this day.
10On the evening of the fourteenth day of the month, while the Israelites were camped at Gilgal on the plains of Jericho, they kept the Passover.
11The day after the Passover, on that very day, they ate unleavened bread and roasted grain from the produce of the land.
12And the day after they had eaten from the produce of the land, the manna ceased. There was no more manna for the Israelites, so that year they began to eat the crops of the land of Canaan. 13Now when Joshua was near Jericho, he looked up and saw a man standing in front of him with a drawn sword in His hand. Joshua approached Him and asked, “Are You for us or for our enemies?”Cross References

Joshua 5:11 Summary
[This verse shows the Israelites enjoying the fruits of the Promised Land, which symbolized their newfound freedom and God's provision for them. They had just celebrated the Passover, which reminded them of God's rescue from slavery in Egypt, as seen in Exodus 12:1-30. Now, they were eating the produce of the land, which showed they were trusting God to provide for them in this new place, just like He promised in Deuteronomy 8:7-10. This is a powerful reminder for us to trust God's provision and timing in our own lives, as we see in Jeremiah 29:11 and Matthew 6:25-34.]

What can we learn from the Israelites' actions in this verse about trusting God's provision?

Gill's Exposition on Joshua 5:11
And they did eat the old corn of the land,.... That of the last year, as some versions (g), which agree with ours; in which they seem to follow the Jewish writers, who, as particularly Kimchi,
Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Joshua 5:11
And they did eat of the old corn of the land on the morrow after the passover, unleavened cakes, and parched corn in the selfsame day.
Matthew Poole's Commentary on Joshua 5:11
The old corn; the corn of the last year, which the inhabitants of those parts had left in their barns, being doubtless fled for fear of the Israelites into their strong cities, or other remoter and safer parts. On the morrow after the passover, i.e. on the sixteenth day; for the passover was killed between the two evenings of the fourteenth day, and was eaten in that evening or night, which, according to the Jewish computation, whereby they begin their days at the evening, was a part of the fifteenth day, all which was the feast of the passover; and so the morrow of the sixteenth day was the morrow after the passover, when they were obliged to offer unto God the first sheaf, and then were allowed to eat of the rest. Parched corn; of that year’ s corn, which was most proper and customary for that use. In the selfsame day; having an eager desire to enjoy the fruits of the land.
Trapp's Commentary on Joshua 5:11
Joshua 5:11 And they did eat of the old corn of the land on the morrow after the passover, unleavened cakes, and parched [corn] in the selfsame day.Ver. 11. On the morrow after the Passover.] That holy sacrament was αλεξητηριονκαθαρτικον, to those believers, sanctifying those outward comforts to their use. "To the pure all things are pure."
Ellicott's Commentary on 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.
Adam Clarke's Commentary on Joshua 5:11
Verse 11. They did eat of the old corn of the land] The Hebrew word עבור abur, which we translate old corn, occurs only in this place in such a sense, if that sense be legitimate. The noun, though of doubtful signification, is evidently derived from עבר abar, to pass over, to go beyond; and here it may be translated simply the produce, that which passes from the land into the hands of the cultivator; or according to Cocceius, what passes from person to person in the way of traffic; hence bought corn, what they purchased from the inhabitants of the land. On the morrow after the passover] That is, on the fifteenth day; for then the feast of unleavened bread began. But they could neither eat bread, nor parched corn, nor green ears, till the first-fruits of the harvest had been waved at the tabernacle; (see Leviticus 23:9, c.) and therefore in this case we may suppose that the Israelites had offered a sheaf of the barley-harvest, the only grain that was then ripe, before they ate of the unleavened cakes and parched corn.
Cambridge Bible on Joshua 5:11
11. of the old corn] Rather, of the produce of the land. “And thei eten of the fruytis of the lond in the tothir day, therf looues, and potage of the same çeer, etin cornys seengid and frotid in the hond.” Wyclif. It could not have been other than the new corn just ripening at the season of the Passover (Leviticus 23:11), not “the old corn,” of which no sufficient supply could have been procurable. on the morrow after the passover] In Numbers 33:3 these words denote the 15th of Nisan. Here, however, they must apparently mean the 16th. For the people could not lawfully eat of the new corn, till the firstfruits had been “waved before the Lord,” which was done “on the morrow after the Sabbath,” i.e. the morrow after the first day of unleavened bread; this, though not necessarily the seventh day of the week, was to be observed as a Sabbath, and therefore is so called. (Comp. Leviticus 23:7; Leviticus 23:11; Leviticus 23:14.) unleavened cakes] according to the requirements of the Law, Exodus 12:8; Exodus 12:15. parched corn] i.e. roasted harvest ears.
Barnes' Notes on 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.
Whedon's Commentary on Joshua 5:11
11. The old corn of the land — There is no authority in the Hebrew for the word old. They ate of the produce of the land.
