The Passover commemorates their deliverance from Egypt, and this is the first Passover celebrated in the Promised Land. It signifies the end of their wilderness journey and the beginning of a new chapter. The timing underscores God's faithfulness in fulfilling His promise to bring them into a land flowing with milk and honey (<a href="/exodus/3-8.htm">Exodus 3:8</a>). The Passover itself is a type of Christ, as Jesus is referred to as our Passover lamb (<a href="/1_corinthians/5-7.htm">1 Corinthians 5:7</a>), symbolizing deliverance from sin.<p><b>on that very day</b><br>The immediacy of this phrase highlights the importance of the event. It emphasizes the precise fulfillment of God's promises and the Israelites' obedience to His commands. The phrase also suggests a new beginning, as they transition from manna, which sustained them in the wilderness, to the produce of the land. This change marks a shift from God's miraculous provision to His provision through the land He promised.<p><b>they ate unleavened bread</b><br>Unleavened bread is significant in Jewish tradition, especially during Passover, symbolizing purity and the haste of their departure from Egypt (<a href="/exodus/12-39.htm">Exodus 12:39</a>). It represents a break from the past and a readiness to embrace God's future promises. In the New Testament, unleavened bread is associated with sincerity and truth (<a href="/1_corinthians/5-8.htm">1 Corinthians 5:8</a>), pointing to the purity required in the lives of believers.<p><b>and roasted grain</b><br>Roasted grain was a common food in ancient Near Eastern cultures, often prepared by parching the grain over fire. This method of preparation indicates the Israelites' adaptation to the agricultural produce of Canaan. It also signifies their transition from a nomadic lifestyle to one of settlement and cultivation. The consumption of roasted grain fulfills the promise of a land that would sustain them, contrasting with the manna they had eaten for forty years.<p><b>from the produce of the land</b><br>This phrase underscores the fulfillment of God's promise to give the Israelites a land of abundance (<a href="/deuteronomy/8-7.htm">Deuteronomy 8:7-9</a>). It marks the end of their dependence on manna and the beginning of enjoying the fruits of the Promised Land. The produce of the land is a tangible sign of God's provision and faithfulness. It also foreshadows the spiritual nourishment found in Christ, who is the bread of life (<a href="/john/6-35.htm">John 6:35</a>), providing sustenance for believers.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/j/joshua.htm">Joshua</a></b><br>The leader of the Israelites after Moses, who led them into the Promised Land.<br><br>2. <b><a href="/topical/i/israelites.htm">Israelites</a></b><br>The people of God who were delivered from Egypt and wandered in the wilderness for 40 years.<br><br>3. <b><a href="/topical/p/promised_land.htm">Promised Land (Canaan)</a></b><br>The land promised by God to Abraham and his descendants, which the Israelites are now entering.<br><br>4. <b><a href="/topical/p/passover.htm">Passover</a></b><br>A significant Jewish festival commemorating the Israelites' deliverance from Egypt.<br><br>5. <b><a href="/topical/u/unleavened_bread_and_roasted_grain.htm">Unleavened Bread and Roasted Grain</a></b><br>The first produce of the Promised Land that the Israelites consumed, marking a new chapter in their journey.<div class="vheading2">Teaching Points</div><b><a href="/topical/g/god's_faithfulness.htm">God's Faithfulness</a></b><br>The consumption of the land's produce signifies the fulfillment of God's promise to Abraham.

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.<p><div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/pulpit/joshua/5.htm">Pulpit Commentary</a></div><span class="cmt_sub_title">Verse 11.</span> - <span class="cmt_word">The old corn.</span> The <span class="accented">produce</span> of the land; literally, that which passes from off it, from <span class="hebrew">עָבַר</span> to pass over.
