Joshua 5:12

“And the manna ceased on the morrow after they had eaten of the old corn of the land, etc.] There being now no further need of it; miracles are not wrought or continued when unnecessary; for the ceasing of the manna shows, that it was not a common but an extraordinary provision. The ceasing of the manna, which was a type of Christ, may signify the cessation of Gospel ordinances, in which Christ is held forth as food for his people. These are to continue till all the spiritual Israel of God have passed over the river Jordan, or death, even until the end of the world, and then to cease, (<402819>Matthew 28:19,20) (<461126>1 Corinthians 11:26 <662122>Revelation 21:22,23); the eating of the old…”

“The manna ceased - Which God now withheld, to shew that Manna was not an ordinary production of nature, but an extraordinary and special gift of God to supply their necessity. And because God would not be prodigal of his favours, by working miracles where ordinary means were sufficient. The morrow - That is, on the seventeenth day. Joshua 5:13”

“5:12 Israel harvested the crops that the people of Jericho did not have time to harvest before Israel crossed the Jordan.”
