The manna ceased
The cessation of manna marks a significant transition for the Israelites. The Hebrew word for "manna" is "מָן" (man), which was the miraculous food provided by God during the Israelites' 40 years in the wilderness. This event signifies the end of their wilderness journey and the beginning of a new chapter in the Promised Land. The ceasing of manna is a testament to God's faithfulness in providing for His people and a call for them to trust Him in new ways as they settle in Canaan.

the day after they had eaten
This phrase underscores the immediacy of God's provision and timing. The Israelites ate the produce of the land, and the very next day, the manna ceased. It highlights God's perfect timing and the seamless transition from one form of provision to another. The Hebrew context suggests a divine orchestration, where God ensures that His people are never left without sustenance.

some of the produce of the land
The "produce of the land" refers to the agricultural bounty of Canaan, a land described as "flowing with milk and honey" (Exodus 3:8). This phrase indicates the fulfillment of God's promise to bring the Israelites into a fertile land. The Hebrew word for "produce" is "תְּבוּאָה" (tevuah), which encompasses the idea of yield or harvest, symbolizing abundance and God's blessing.

there was no more manna
The repetition of the cessation of manna emphasizes the finality of this miraculous provision. It marks a clear end to the wilderness period and a shift to a new reliance on the land's resources. This transition challenges the Israelites to adapt and trust in God's continued provision through natural means.

for the Israelites
The focus on "the Israelites" highlights the collective experience of God's people. It serves as a reminder of their identity as a chosen nation, set apart by God. The Hebrew term "בְּנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל" (Bnei Yisrael) reinforces their covenant relationship with God and their shared history and destiny.

that year
The specification of "that year" situates the event in a particular time, emphasizing the historical reality of God's actions. It marks the beginning of a new agricultural cycle in the Promised Land, symbolizing new beginnings and the fulfillment of God's promises. The Hebrew context suggests a new era of divine provision and faithfulness.

(12) The manna ceased on the morrow after they had eaten of the old corn of the land.--The date should be noticed. On the fourteenth day was the Passover; on the fifteenth, Israel ate of the produce of the land. From that day the manna fell no more--i.e., on the sixteenth day of the first month of the year of their entering the land of Canaan, it was not found. On the sixteenth day of the second month of the first year of the Exodus, it first appeared (Exodus 16:1; Exodus 16:7; Exodus 16:13-14). Thirty-nine years and eleven months it fell, except on the Sabbath. It kept Sabbath all through the wilderness, on the seventh day of the week, and it finally ceased, kept Sabbath (vay-yishboth, Hebrew) on the very day afterwards marked by our Lord's resurrection, which became the Lord's day. The coincidence is too remarkable to be overlooked. It is the risen Christ who takes the place of the manna; and in the discourse wherein He calls Himself "the true bread from heaven," He points again and again to resurrection as the end of the life which He gives: "I will raise him up at the last day" (John 6:39-40; John 6:44; John 6:54). Then the manna, which is the food of the wilderness, shall keep Sabbath, for "they shall hunger no more." The food of the wilderness is that which Israel ate, not knowing what it was. Of the other world it is written, "then shall I know, even as also I am known." . . . Verse 12. - The manna ceased. It ceased when the Israelites entered a cultivated region. The eastern portion of their inheritance, though well suited for pastoral purposes (see Joshua 1:12), was not a land of agricultural produce. Therefore the manna did not cease until the Israelites had crossed the Jordan.

CHAPTER 5:13-15.
