And they did eat of the old corn of the land--found in storehouses of the inhabitants who had fled into Jericho.
parched corn--new grain (see on Lev 23:10), probably lying in the fields. Roasted--a simple and primitive preparation, much liked in the East. This abundance of food led to the discontinuance of the manna; and the fact of its then ceasing, viewed in connection with its seasonable appearance in the barren wilderness, is a striking proof of its miraculous origin. |
| Notes on the Bible, by Albert Barnes, [1834] |
Old corn of the land - Rather "produce of the land," the new grain just coming in at the time of the Passover. (So in Jos 5:12.)
On the morrow after the passover - These words denote in Num 33:3 the 15th Nisan, but must here apparently mean the 16th. For the Israelites could not lawfully eat of the new grain until the first fruits of it had been presented, and this was done on "the morrow after the Sabbath," i. e. the morrow after the first day of Unleavened Bread, which was to be observed as a Sabbath, and is therefore so called. (Compare Lev 23:7, Lev 23:11, Lev 23:14.)
The term Passover, which is sometimes used for the lamb slain on the evening of the 14th Nisan, sometimes for the paschal meal, sometimes for the whole eight days' festival, here means the first great day of the eight, the Sabbath of the first holy convocation. |

corn
The manna is a type of Christ in humiliation, known "after the flesh," giving his flesh that the believer might have life (Joh 6:49-51) while the "old corn of the land" is Christ apprehended as risen, glorified, and seated in the heavenlies. Occupation with Christ on earth, "crucified through weakness," tends to a wilderness experience. An experience befitting the believer's place in the heavenlies demands an apprehension of the power of His resurrection; (Co2 5:16); (Co2 13:4); (Phi 3:10); (Eph 1:15-23). It is the contrast between "milk" and "meat" in Paul's writings. (Co1 3:1); (Co1 3:2); (Heb 5:12-14); (Heb 6:1-3). |

| Old corn - The corn of the last year, which the inhabitants of those parts had left in their barns, being fled into their strong cities, or other remoter parts. The morrow - That is, 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 for that use. Self - same day - Having an eager desire to enjoy the fruits of the land. And this corn came very seasonably; for after the passover, they were to keep the feast of unleavened bread, which they could not do, when they had nothing but manna to live upon. |
| Adam Clarke Commentary on the Whole Bible - Published 1810-1826 |
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 Lev 23:9, etc.); 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. |
10 Speak [01696] unto the children [01121] of Israel [03478], and say [0559] unto them, When ye be come [0935] into the land [0776] which I give [05414] unto you, and shall reap [07114] the harvest [07105] thereof, then ye shall bring [0935] a sheaf [06016] of the firstfruits [07225] of your harvest [07105] unto the priest [03548]:
14 And ye shall eat [0398] neither bread [03899], nor parched corn [07039], nor green ears [03759], until the selfsame [06106] [02088] day [03117] that [05704] ye have brought [0935] an offering [07133] unto your God [0430]: it shall be a statute [02708] for ever [05769] throughout your generations [01755] in all your dwellings [04186].
11 And he shall wave [05130] the sheaf [06016] before [06440] the LORD [03068], to be accepted [07522] for you: on the morrow [04283] after the sabbath [07676] the priest [03548] shall wave [05130] it.
7 In the first [07223] day [03117] ye shall have an holy [06944] convocation [04744]: ye shall do [06213] no servile [05656] work [04399] therein.
3 And they departed [05265] from Rameses [07486] in the first [07223] month [02320], on the fifteenth [06240] [02568] day [03117] of the first [07223] month [02320]; on the morrow [04283] after the passover [06453] the children [01121] of Israel [03478] went out [03318] with an high [07311] hand [03027] in the sight [05869] of all the Egyptians [04714].
12 And the manna [04478] ceased [07673] on the morrow [04283] after they had eaten [0398] of the old corn [05669] of the land [0776]; neither had the children [01121] of Israel [03478] manna [04478] any more; but they did eat [0398] of the fruit [08393] of the land [0776] of Canaan [03667] that year [08141].
1 Therefore [1352] leaving [863] the principles [746] of the doctrine [3056] of Christ [5547], let us go on [5342] unto [1909] perfection [5047]; not [3361] laying [2598] again [3825] the foundation [2310] of repentance [3341] from [575] dead [3498] works [2041], and [2532] of faith [4102] toward [1909] God [2316],
2 Of the doctrine [1322] of baptisms [909], and [5037] of laying on [1936] of hands [5495], and [5037] of resurrection [386] of the dead [3498], and [2532] of eternal [166] judgment [2917].
3 And [2532] this [5124] will we do [4160], if [1437] [4007] God [2316] permit [2010].
12 For [2532] [1063] when for [1223] the time [5550] ye ought [3784] to be [1511] teachers [1320], ye have [2192] need [5532] that one teach [1321] you [5209] again [3825] which [5101] be the first [746] principles [4747] of the oracles [3051] of God [2316]; and [2532] are become such as [1096] have [2192] need [5532] of milk [1051], and [2532] not [3756] of strong [4731] meat [5160].
13 For [1063] every one [3956] that useth [3348] milk [1051] is unskilful [552] in the word [3056] of righteousness [1343]: for [1063] he is [2076] a babe [3516].
14 But [1161] strong [4731] meat [5160] belongeth to them that are [2076] of full age [5046], even those who by reason [1223] of use [1838] have [2192] their senses [145] exercised [1128] to [4314] discern [1253] both [5037] good [2570] and [2532] evil [2556].
2 I have fed [4222] you [5209] with milk [1051], and [2532] not [3756] with meat [1033]: for [1063] hitherto [3768] ye were [1410] not [3768] able [1410] to bear it, neither [235] [3777] yet [2089] now [3568] are ye able [1410].
1 And [2532] I [1473], brethren [80], could [1410] not [3756] speak [2980] unto you [5213] as [5613] unto spiritual [4152], but [235] as [5613] unto carnal [4559], even as [5613] unto babes [3516] in [1722] Christ [5547].
15 Wherefore [1223] [5124] I also [2504], after I heard [191] of [2596] your [5209] faith [4102] in [1722] the Lord [2962] Jesus [2424], and [2532] love [26] unto [1519] all [3956] the saints [40],
16 Cease [3973] not [3756] to give thanks [2168] for [5228] you [5216], making [4160] mention [3417] of you [5216] in [1909] my [3450] prayers [4335];
17 That [2443] the God [2316] of our [2257] Lord [2962] Jesus [2424] Christ [5547], the Father [3962] of glory [1391], may give [1325] unto you [5213] the spirit [4151] of wisdom [4678] and [2532] revelation [602] in [1722] the knowledge [1922] of him [846]:
18 The eyes [3788] of your [5216] understanding [1271] being enlightened [5461]; that [1519] ye [5209] may know [1492] what [5101] is [2076] the hope [1680] of his [846] calling [2821], and [2532] what [5101] the riches [4149] of the glory [1391] of his [846] inheritance [2817] in [1722] the saints [40],
19 And [2532] what [5101] is the exceeding [5235] greatness [3174] of his [846] power [1411] to [1519] us-ward [2248] who [3588] believe [4100], according to [2596] the working [1753] of his [846] mighty [2479] power [2904],
20 Which [3739] he wrought [1754] in [1722] Christ [5547], when he raised [1453] him [846] from [1537] the dead [3498], and [2532] set [2523] him at [1722] his own [846] right hand [1188] in [1722] the heavenly [2032] places,
21 Far above [5231] all [3956] principality [746], and [2532] power [1849], and [2532] might [1411], and [2532] dominion [2963], and [2532] every [3956] name [3686] that is named [3687], not [3756] only [3440] in [1722] this [5129] world [165], but [235] also [2532] in [1722] that which is to come [3195]:
22 And [2532] hath put [5293] all [3956] things under [5259] his [846] feet [4228], and [2532] gave [1325] him [846] to be the head [2776] over [5228] all [3956] things to the church [1577],
23 Which [3748] is [2076] his [846] body [4983], the fulness [4138] of him that filleth [4137] all [3956] in [1722] all [3956].
10 That I may know [1097] him [846], and [2532] the power [1411] of his [846] resurrection [386], and [2532] the fellowship [2842] of his [846] sufferings [3804], being made conformable [4833] unto his [846] death [2288];
4 For [1063] [2532] though [1487] he was crucified [4717] through [1537] weakness [769], yet [235] he liveth [2198] by [1537] the power [1411] of God [2316]. For [1063] we [2249] also [2532] are weak [770] in [1722] him [846], but [235] we shall live [2198] with [4862] him [846] by [1537] the power [1411] of God [2316] toward [1519] you [5209].
16 Wherefore [5620] henceforth [575] [3568] know [1492] we [2249] no man [3762] after [2596] the flesh [4561]: yea [1161], though [1499] we have known [1097] Christ [5547] after [2596] the flesh [4561], yet [235] now [3568] henceforth [3765] know we [1097] him no more [3765].
49 Your [5216] fathers [3962] did eat [5315] manna [3131] in [1722] the wilderness [2048], and [2532] are dead [599].
50 This [3778] is [2076] the bread [740] which [3588] cometh down [2597] from [1537] heaven [3772], that [3363] a man [5100] may eat [5315] thereof [1537] [846], and [2532] not [3363] die [599].
51 I [1473] am [1510] the living [2198] bread [740] which [3588] came down [2597] from [1537] heaven [3772]: if [1437] any man [5100] eat [5315] of [1537] this [5127] bread [740], he shall live [2198] for [1519] ever [165]: and [1161] [2532] the bread [740] that [3739] I [1473] will give [1325] is [2076] my [3450] flesh [4561], which [3739] I [1473] will give [1325] for [5228] the life [2222] of the world [2889].
9 And the LORD [03068] spake [01696] unto Moses [04872], saying [0559],
