Joshua 5:12

the manna ceased For the first time since leaving Sinai the Passover cakes were not made of manna, for the people had now arrived in Canaan, and no longer needed this "Bread of the Wilderness." Day after day, for forty years, there had appeared "on the face of the wilderness a small round thing, as small as the hoar frost, white, like coriander seed," the taste of which "was like wafers made with honey" (Exodus 16:14-36). Day by day, except on the Sabbath, it had been gathered, and had been found sufficient for their daily wants. Now it suddenly ceased. The people no longer needed this "angels" food" (Psalms 78:25), but "they did eat of the fruit of the land of Canaan." Comp. John 6:31; John 6:49; John 6:58; Revelation 2:17.
